The American pop icon told fans on her Instagram feed on Wednesday that she carried out blood tests to see if she had contracted Covid-19.
Seven weeks ago, several of the star's concerts at the Grand Rex venue in Paris were cancelled, the official reason being a knee problem.
"We all thought we had a very bad flu," she said, referring to the period at the end of February.
