Nollywood actress, Omotola
Jalade-Ekeinde, has opened up on how she contracted the dreaded COVID-19 on set
of a movie and how she infected her son and daughter.
According to Vanguard, she said:
“I hardly fall ill and so when I left the set and started having chills the
next day or so, I knew something wasn’t right. I thought it might be stress.
This was on Monday, August 3. I
waited till Tuesday and it got worse. I was shaking uncontrollably and my
temperature was going through the roof.
My spirit told me immediately,
this is not malaria or fever. I have been extremely careful and paranoid about
this COVID-19 stuff. So I told hubby I needed to be tested immediately. I have
a son that has Asthma!
They came to test me on Wednesday
and my result came out on Thursday evening, Positive. My world crashed. I felt
crazy and empty.
My symptoms were high fever and
chills… luckily no other. But it was so bad, they contemplated coming to
evacuate me as my viral load was high and I wasn’t getting better … but God
arose for me.
So they had to come test the
whole family … I had infected my daughter and asthmatic son! My God showed up
for me as my son is asymptotic, so positive but not sick! My daughter lost her
smell and taste and had severe diarrhea. All has stopped now, thank God.
We are all now in remission. It’s
physically, spiritually and emotionally exhausting as the doctors tell you it’s
a 50/50 chance. Nothing you do really saves you . You can only take the
vitamins, manage the symptoms and hope your body fights.
Please this thing is real and we
must come together to find the safest way to work and protect ourselves. I was
one of the most careful persons you’d ever meet concerning COVID-19.
Imagine if I believed because of
that I couldn’t have been infected… I wish I wasn’t … but I was … I could have
been going out and kept on infecting others.”
