The caption of her post read: “My case is mild and I am fine but it is very very contagious and super dangerous for people who are weaker.
“This is not nonsense, be aware, do not take it lightly, there are dead, many lives at stake and we still do not know how far this will go.”
She added, “Now I have 15 days in
quarantine and then it will be seen. Take care of yourself.”
A number of celebrities around the world have been infected by COVID-19.
It started with Hollywood star Tom Hanks and wife Rita Wilson, then Avengers actor Idris Elba, Game of Thrones actor Kristofer Hivju, Quantum of Solace star Olga Kurylenko and Italian actor Luca Franzese.
