Just days after informing her fans that she’s “impatiently waiting for ‘rona results”, former Cosmo ME cover star, Ascia, took to social media to announce that she tested positive for COVID-19. Here’s what she said in the Tweet: “I tested positive for COVID-19 yesterday and have mild symptoms so far. I’m isolating & it’s really hard to be away from the kids but necessary.” 

“Everyone I came into contact with, my team & my family have all tested negative. Accepting book recommendations for bed reads,” she added.  

The UAE government has issued a stay home warning, urging residents across the country not to leave their house unless it’s an emergency.

Last week, the UAE announced the approval of the Coronavirus vaccines after a successful trial in Abu Dhabi. WHO recognised the trial when it began in July, and the vaccine was successfully tested on 1,000 volunteers without side effects as the clinical trial took place for six weeks.

Guys, don’t forget to wear your mask and practise social distancing x
