Influencer Arielle Charnas Tests Positive For Coronavirus

In the current pandemic scenario, the most worrying factor is how little availability of the tests for coronavirus there is. And hence, influencer Arielle Charnas went on to have a contact in order to get a test done. And now, she herself went on to confirm that she has been tested positive for coronavirus.

"Hi guys. I wanted to give you all a health update. I realize that there are many individuals, both in New York City, and nationwide, who do not have the ability to receive immediate medical care at the first sign of sickness, and access to care is #1 priority in a time like this," the Something Navy star wrote in a note shared to the social network. "It is the responsibility of our government offices to ensure all Americans can access necessary tests and I acknowledge how lucky I am to have had that access. I hope this ignites faster movement in the future. Like many of you, this pandemic has me on heightened alert, and I took what I believed to be the quick precautions necessary to protect the health and safety of my family and now ultimately the people around me. This morning, I learned that I tested positive for COVID-19."

While the fashion blogger acknowledged "this virus seems to be everywhere that you turn," she claimed "it's meaning and importance completely [change] when it affects you personally."

"To date, I've been following the guidelines of the CDC and listening to the city and government officials and I urge everyone to do the same," she wrote to her 1.3 million followers. "Now more than ever, it's become even clearer that these precautions are absolutely necessary to slow down this virus and protect the people most vulnerable to its spread."

Charnas then shared her personal plan per the recommendations of her doctors.

"Continue to quarantine/self-isolate, get lots of rest and drink fluids, get in touch with the family and friends that I've been in close contact with over the past 2 weeks so they can be even more diligent in their own self-quarantine and look out for any symptoms," she wrote.

While she claimed her daughters "aren't showing any symptoms," she stated "we are watching them super closely." In addition, she shared that her husband Brandon "is also unwell and resting with us."
