Bollywood Singer Kanika Kapoor, who tested positive for coronavirus on Friday, issued a statement on Instagram soon after the news surfaced. Along with her statement, Kanika shared two pictures – one image is of the earth wearing a mask and the other is her selfie.

In her post, Kanika said that she was experiencing “signs of flu” since the past four days and decided to get a test done. “It came positive for Covid-19,” she said, adding that she and her family are in “complete quarantine now and following medical advice on how to move forward”.

Kanika travelled to London lately and arrived in Lucknow on March 15. She also did not inform authorities about her travel history. In fact, Kanika hosted a lavish party for her friends and family at a five-star hotel in Lucknow after returning from London.

Full Statement

Meanwhile, she provided a health update, saying that she is “feeling ok” at the moment. “I am feeling ok, like a normal flu and a mild fever, however we need to be sensible citizens at this time and think of all around us. We can get through this without panic only if we listen to the experts and our local, state and central government directives,” she said.
