On her Facebook page, the actress wrote, “When the world sleeps magically ! I have contracted Omicron despite taking precautions. My symptoms were joint pains, chills and a scratchy throat which was followed by a slightly sore throat – This was only on the first day ! And every day my symptoms reduce greatly.
“I’m glad I took both my vaccines as I believe that it prevents the disease from progressing by 85 per cent. I urge everyone else to do the same if you haven’t done so already. I hope and pray that this variant marks the end of the pandemic.”
