The past few days saw many celebrities contracting the Coronavirus, as the Omicron variant continues to surge in the country. Just like Bollywood, many South superstars have also tested positive.
The latest celebrity to have contracted the virus is Keerthy Suresh. The Mahanati actor posted a message on social media as she wrote, “I have tested positive for Covid-19, experiencing mild symptoms despite taking all necessary precautions and safety measures, which is a scary reminder of the rate at which the virus is spreading (sic).”
Earlier, actor-politician Khushbu Sundar had tested positive for coronavirus on Monday. In a tweet, she mentioned that while she managed to escape the infection during the last two waves, the virus has finally caught up with her during the third wave.
“Ok. finally #Covid catches up with me after dodging last 2 waves. I have just tested positive. Till last eve i was negative. Have a running nose,did a test n Voila! I have isolated myself. Hate being alone. So keep me entertained for the next 5 days. N get tested if any signs,” Khushbu tweeted.
Being responsible is being intelligent. #Omicron is spreading like wild fire. My symptoms are extremely mild but that may not be the case with others. Be responsible not only for own but others too. Get tested,get isolated if any signs, however mild. But pls do not panic. TC ❤️💪 pic.twitter.com/FPSojOuWaC— KhushbuSundar (@khushsundar) January 11, 2022

Actor and Bharatnatyam dancer Shobana also joined the list of celebrities testing positive. The superstar shared a long post on Facebook as she wrote, “When the world sleeps magically ! 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 ..”
