Erica Fernandes, despite taking all necessary precautions throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, has tested positive for the virus along with her mother. The actress, who was last seen in Kuch Rang Pyaar Ke Aise Bhi 3, penned a long note on Instagram and alerted all those who came in contact with her in the last few days.
Erica's note read, "Requesting Your Kind Attention When covid first hit us I was more than paranoid about it but also knew that most of us are going to contract it sooner or later. Unfortunately, as of now me along with my mom have tested positive One note of advice DO NOT rely on the home test (coviself kit) because they are not reliable at all."

She further added, "On the 2nd of January when I developed cough n sore throat, I got myself tested on the coviself kit knowing that I have had a history of laryngitis and the cough n sore throat could be from that and further on for confirmation I went on to take 2 more tests the following day. All 3 tests showed negative, along with me my moms test on coviself also showed negative but i dint 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 n me have been facing congestion, cough. cold severe body and head aches and fluctuating fever with occasional shivers. We are isolated and under medical care."
Erica ended the note saying, "I would like to request those who have come in contact with us in the past week to please get yourself tested Much love."
