Theri fame actor Sunainaa took to Twitter on Monday to share with fans that she has contracted the novel coronavirus. Sunainaa explained how she has tested positive despite being very careful and following precautionary measures. She also noted that she is currently under isolation at her residence and has been following all the safety protocols.  "Despite being extremely careful, I have tested positive for COVID-19. I have isolated myself at home and have followed all protocols. I haven't come in contact with anybody except for the members of my family and they are all in isolation as well,” Sunainaa wrote.  

The actor also expressed that while she wants to stay inactive on social media, she does not want to miss out on the opportunity to help people by amplifying requests made for beds, oxygen etc by COVID patients and hence she stated that she will be active online. Assuring that she will try her best to repost, Sunainaa wrote, “As much as I want to completely shut my social and rest, I don't want to miss out on any opportunity to post, repost, or between a post that could be of little or big help to someone in need, so I will be here as much as I can.”
