Actor Tanishaa Mukerji is on road to recovery after testing positive for Coronavirus. “I am doing good. I’m fully vaccinated, that’s why my symptoms are not so severe, and I am not so sick,” Mukerji shares with us.

Last week, the actor took to Instagram to share her health update, revealing that she has isolated herself. Trying to piece together her actions which exposed her to the virus, the 43-year-old says, “I was out in a public gathering, and although I was masked, I had to remove it for pictures. I think I may have been infected that evening.”

Even though vaccine is helping her fight the virus, getting infected despite taking all the precautions is something which makes her realise the importance of being cautious at every step.

“The Covid virus is a part of our environment now and I feel we shall overcome this just like we overcame polio or the plague,” she adds.

In fact, she is not letting the news of the emergence of a new variant, Omicron, bother her. She says, “I don’t feel anxious about new variants as being correctly informed can help us overcome anything.”

The actor adds, “I want people to understand that even after being vaccinated, you can get infected. We need to be careful and not infect others.”

As she presumes she got infected when she stepped out, will there be any hesitation to get in front of the camera without a mask? She replies: “Since I had the virus, I would be safe for a few months. The world is rapidly finding ways to improve recovery, so I have faith that our bodies will adapt to fight this virus, too.”
