Former Real Housewives of Atlanta (RHOA) cast member Shereé Whitfield has opened up about her diagnosis with COVID-19, sharing her experience with the illness.
The 5-year-old took to her Instagram account to reveal that she tested positive for COVID-19, sharing a brief video about her current situation.
Whitfield said, “I tested positive for COVID-19, so I’ve kind of just really been at home self-quarantining for the past week and a half.”
She continued, “I just want you guys to know that this is no joke. I’m feeling much better today. Thank you to everybody who knew they had not heard from me and reached out … I just have been out of it.”
The RHOA star also shared that she would like to post an additional Instagram for anyone who have questions related to the coronavirus, or “if you want to know what some of my symptoms were.”
“Take care and be safe,” Whitfield concluded the video clip.
Her followers were quick to reply to the video, sending her wishes to get well soon.
Real Housewives of Potomac star Gizelle Bryant responded, “Glad you’re feeling better!”
RHOA’s Cynthia Bailey commented, “Oh no!!!! Wishing u a speedy recovery.”
Earlier this month, The Real Housewives of New York City star Ramona Singer shared that she and her daughter, Avery, both tested positive for COVID-19 antibodies.
Singer told PEOPLE, “We both found out we have the antibodies, so we donated our plasma.”
The 63-year-old said she felt mild symptoms in February but she never tested for the virus due to lack of information and testing availability at the time.
Singer recalled, “I had no energy. I just wanted to stay in bed all day. I felt very tired, and I also had severe headaches.”
In May, Ramona, her ex-husband, Mario, and Avery decided to get tested for COOVID-19 antibodies.
She said, “We all got tested. Avery and I both tested positive, but Mario was negative. We are all so lucky that we have our health.” Jennifer Aydin of The Real Housewives of New Jersey and Bravo boss Andy Cohen also joined the list of celebrities who tested positive for the novel coronavirus.
