Olivia Nikkanen, well known for her roles in The Society and Supergirl web series has took to the Social media and announced that she is tested positive for the Corona Virus. Olivia shared her health update on Tuesday on Instagram.
Olivia said, "she was feeling better now but still had some tightness in the chest. This is a scary thing. It's all-consuming. I'm glad that I'm okay and that my mom is okay," she said.
She also said that she and her mother have been isolating in their apartment for more than two weeks.
She came down with body aches, slight chills and a 99.5 degree temperature on March 13. On March 14, her fever was 102.4 and she had "terribly body aches and chills," a stuffy nose and "major fatigue".
The next day she lost her sense of smell and taste and, on March 16, she was tested and had additional symptoms of a slight sore throat, which was gone the next day.
Olivia said she experienced chest tightness as her fever decreased and was diagnosed on March 19. Nikkanen said she has been treating her fever and chest pain with Tylenol, and she drank lots of fluids and rested a lot.
"I feel extremely lucky to be able to stay home and fully recover, it is a privilege, though it should be a right. If you are also in that position, please think about the people who are not able to take time off work.
"We are living in an unprecedented time that will no doubt change history forever and no person should be left behind. If I can flatten the curve and protect those at risk, I will do so gladly," she wrote on her Instagram post
