Model and
actress Shruthi Nandeesh
, who has been a part of projects like
Uppi
2 and
Coma
, recently took to social media to write about her
Covid-19
diagnosis. “People in Bangalore, please don't be negligent about COVID! I tested positive last week and it's been 10 days, I'm still very weak and tired most of the time. It's not a common flu and it does weaken your
immune system
. We cannot stop this unless we stop taking it lightly and roam around unnecessarily without taking precautions,” she wrote in her post.
Shruthi, who has been working with an interior design firm in procurement, fears that she may have picked up the virus on a showroom visit. “I have told the firm that I can’t do this kind of work for a while, as I normally live with my grandparents and I can’t put them at risk. Right now, I am isolating back home in Mysuru, where my parents live,” she adds.
Shruthi says that while she is on the mend, after a course of antibiotics, she still gets headaches and feels tired often. “I had symptoms right from the beginning and am definitely feeling a lot better after the treatment. I have also been taking vitamin supplements and some immunity-boosting ayurvedic medicine. I just hope everyone takes preventive measures more seriously to really fight this pandemic. Right now, it is about the survival of the fittest,” she says.
