Popular serial actress Navya Swamy who shot to fame in Tamil after appearing in Radhika Sarathkumar's 'Vani Rani' tested positive for COVID 19 last week on the sets of her Telugu serial 'Na Peru Meenachi'. Later Ravi Krishna who is playing Navya's pair in another serial 'Aame Katha' also got infected and is getting treated.

Meanwhile actress Jhansi who is playing a pivotal role in 'Aame Katha' posted on social media that she is under isolation and this sparked rumours that she too is suffering from the coronavirus.

Jhansi has clarifed "Making it clear, I have only isolated because two colleagues of mine have tested positive. My parents are aged and I don’t want to take the risk with them or anyone else, which is why I am in home-isolation. Please do not believe rumours, because I will be home and should I show symptoms or test positive, I will definitely let you know. After a week, I will rejoin shoot and just because I was home now, doesn't mean I won't be at risk of contacting the virus. This is a risk we will continue to take as we shoot, despite taking precautions. Please be aware, stay safe,”

In a lengthy post Jhansi has also advised how to prevent or combat the deadly coronavirus that is running rampant throughout India and the world disrupting normal life.

Happily in isolation. Isolation and quarantine are different. Most of us know quarantine rules. But why and what is ISOLATION. Isolation is for people who have come from high risk places, or may have come in contact with a covid positive person directly. It is better for such people to isolate and watch out for 10 or 12 days to reduce the risk of further transmission. These are the measures you can follow if you need to isolate. stay away from work, public spaces. restrict to home, keep distance from family members especially those who are low with immunity. Do not share common living spaces like dining tables, sofas, chairs, beds , linen, etc. Mask up at home , use sanitizer sprays in common washroom if need to share one. If you have access use a separate washroom. Keep checking on symptoms. If required talk to your physician. Eat well, binge on fruits and greens, and nuts. No sugar. take supplements, make herbal drinks, be happy, read, watch, sing , dance, paint (anything that keeps you busy.) Sanitize the place as required. Exercise, walk, yoga whatever keep moving. I chose terrace to workout. Take at least 15 min of sunshine If you are hail and healthy, without symptoms then check with your physician after 10 days, if you require a test or further isolation. This is what I follow , let me know if we can do anything else.
