Ukrainian Hollywood actress Ivanna Sakhno tested positive for COVID-19, a disease caused by the novel coronavirus.

Sakhno’s case is a reminder that celebrities are at the same risk of getting the disease, which is spreading rapidly. As of March 22, 316,409 people have been infected by the coronavirus, which has killed 13,642.  

The actress made a post on her Instagram account on March 21, saying that she tested positive for COVID-19, but her symptoms did not appear immediately. 

  Посмотреть эту публикацию в Instagram   Hi folks. I just heard back from the doctor’s office, I was tested positive for Covid-19. My symptoms showed up at different times, and some were mild: abdominal pain, chest pain, difficulty breathing, nosebleeds and fever. At this point, there’s an abundance of information one can find on how to be careful, the only thing I’d like to keep asking is for us all to be responsible citizens and stay home. Social distancing is our civic duty now. Let’s please take care of each other. Всім привіт. Я тільки що отримала результат тесту на Covid-19. Він виявився позитивним. Симптоми корона вірусу проявились не відразу і не всі одночасно (біль в спині, біль в легенях, температура, носова кровотеча). Хочу попросити кожного з вас, не важливо чи у вас є будь які симптоми, просто будьте вдома. Це наш громадський обов’язок. Тим самим ви збережете життя тим, хто довкола вас. (second picture is a care package @giulliang sent me when I couldn’t find any tylenol online and he went to get the last pack at the pharmacy and ubered it along with our favorite @mudcoffeenyc bread + a hydration mask from @annmakosinski and vitamins. Also thank you @olivianikkanen who gave me the contact of the doctor I went to and @ms_buchak for sending me groceries. And our In From The Cold family for sticking together(remotely) and entertaining the living brains out of each other. This moment taught me how beautiful human connection can be in complete isolation. Публикация от Ivanna Sakhno (@ivannasakhno) 21 Мар 2020 в 9:11 PDT
