Joining the long list of celebrities who tested positive for coronavirus are actors Shobana and Kushboo. The former, who is also a Bharatnatyam dancer, took to social media to inform that she has contracted Omicron despite taking precautions. Omicron is the latest variant of the original SARS-CoV-2 virus and has been spreading rapidly.
Shobana’s Instagram post read, “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 percent .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 ..”
