Matthew Broderick is speaking out to give a status update on his sister Janet Broderick‘s health, two days after it was revealed that she tested positive for coronavirus.

The 57-year-old actor says that Janet is “on the road to a full recovery” after being admitted to the ICU this week for a “severe form of pneumonia.”

“My entire family is grateful for the concern about, and the well wishes for, my sister Janet,” Matthew said in a statement to Deadline. “I’m happy to say she is feeling much better and is on the road to a full recovery. We are all very appreciative for the wonderful care she received from the amazing doctors and nurses at Cedars Sinai.”

Janet is the rector of the All Saints Episcopal Church in Beverly Hills. The church believes that she contracted COVID-19 while attending a religious conference last month in Kentucky.

In a statement released by the church, Janet said, “Jesus has been so close to me the whole time and scriptures have upheld me. I so look forward to being together again in worship, to praying with you and singing a hymn.”

Matthew Broderick‘s sister Rev. Janet Broderick has tested positive for coronavirus.

Janet, a pastor at All Saints Episcopal Church in Beverly Hills, has tested positive for the illness and has been hospitalized after attending a conference in Kentucky.

“As you may know, our Rector, Janet Broderick, took ill shortly after returning from the annual conference of the Consortium of Endowed Episcopal Parishes (CEEP) in Louisville, Kentucky, which was attended by more than 500 Episcopalians from around the country,” the church said in a statement via CBS LA. “As you also may know, it was reported last Sunday that the rector of Christ Church Georgetown in Washington, D.C., an attendee of the conference, was diagnosed with the Covid-19 coronavirus.”

“After an initial assessment, she was moved to the ICU and placed under isolation,” the statement continued. “At that point, her care team moved forward with a test for Covid-19. The results were returned today, and it has been determined that Janet has tested positive for the virus.”

As of right now, All Saints Episcopal Church has been closed with services suspended.

After the news broke, Janet shared a statement on the church’s website saying, “I am through the worst of this and very much on the mend. I asked my kids to bring me a coloring book and a LEGO set if that is any indication.”

According the church, Janet is in stable condition and is being treated for a sever form of pneumonia.

Matthew Broderick stepped in to play Mike Pompeo during Saturday Night Live‘s cold open!

The 57-year-old actor took on the role of the secretary of state as he discussed the ongoing impeachment proceedings with Vice President Mike Pence, played by Beck Bennett.

In the sketch, Vice President Pence gathered Rudi Giuliani, played by Kate McKinnon, and Attorney General William Barr, portrayed by Aidy Bryant, for a crisis meeting to decide how to deal with the impeachment proceedings.

Soon Mike joins the meeting, announcing that he needs to find another country to live in in case the impeachment proceedings force him out of the U.S.

“Impeachment happens pretty fast. If you don’t stop to look around, you might miss it,” Matthew said while portraying Mike, in a nod to the iconic line from his film Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.
