Actor Purab Kohli and his family were diagnosed with the novel coronavirus. The actor took to his Instagram handle to share the news. The VJ wrote that they had flu with stronger cough and breathlessness and were diagnosed with COVID-19. The actor wrote that his daughter Inaya was the first person to get it. His wife Lucy Payton and baby son Osian Nur also got infected by the virus but they are taking all the safety measures and now recovering.
Purab wrote, “Hey guys, we’ve just had a flu and given our symptoms our GP says we were down with Covid 19. Pretty similar to a regular flu with a stronger cough and a feeling of breathlessness.
Inaya got it first and very mild. A cough and a cold for two days. Then Lucy got it more in the chest, quite similar to the cough symptom everyone has been talking about. Then me, i got a solid cold for one day which was horrid then it vanished and this irritating cough set in for 3 days. Three of us had only mild 100-101 temperatures and fatigue. Osian got it last with a 104 fever for 3 nights. Also a runny nose and a slight cough. His fever disappeared only on his 5th day.
Just wanted to share it with you if it helps reduce the panic a little to know someone who has had it and is fine. On Wednesday last week we were out of self imposed quarantine and are not contagious any longer.”(sic)
Towards the end of his post, Purab asked everyone to stay safe and to keep in mind that the body is strong enough to fight it, “Please stay safe. I hope none of you get it but if you do, know that your body is strong enough to fight it. Seek proper advice from your doctors as intensity of each case is different as was in my household alone. And please stay home and rest the body as much as possible. Lots of love. #CoronaVirus #Covid19 #Recovery #DontPanic #Breathe #Calm.”(sic)
