A representative for Eminem told ABC News that the musician, 47, and his Marshall Mathers Foundation partnered with the restaurant group Union Joints to provide the spaghetti to health care workers, and added that they will be continuing this at area hospitals over the next few weeks.
Coronavirus has hit Wayne County, Michigan, where Detroit is located, particularly hard. According to the Coronavirus Resource Center at Johns Hopkins University, there are 14,561 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the county, and 1,319 deaths from the virus.
The Henry Ford Health System itself has struggled during the epidemic, losing $43 million in March and being forced to furlough 2,800 workers across six hospitals.
