The actress took to her Instagram account and shared a statement saying that she and her mother have tested positive.

Sharing her ordeal on her social media account, Erica said, “On January 2 when I developed cough and sore throat, I got myself tested on the Coviself kit knowing that I have had a history of laryngitis and the cough and sore throat could be from that and further on for confirmation I went on to take two more tests the following day. All three tests showed negative. My mom’s test on coviself also came out negative.”

Erica further wrote, “But I didn’t feel too good because this time the sore throat was so bad that I felt like I had a sand paper in my throat. As I started to develop symptoms, I opted for the lab test which came out positive. Mom and I have been facing congestion, cough, cold, severe body ache and headache and fluctuating fever with occasional shivers. We are isolated and under medical care. I would like to request those who have come in contact with us in the past week to get tested for the virus.”
