Linda Lusardi has "never felt this ill" after revealing she is battling coronavirus.
The 61-year-old actress confirmed on Thursday (19.03.20) she is suffering from the respiratory illness - also known as COVID-19 - and later in the day, she took to social media to give a further update on her health, as she said she "wouldn\'t wish" the symptoms of the virus "on anyone".
She wrote on Twitter: "I want to thank you all for your good wishes. Sam and I have had COVID-19 symptoms and are in isolation so we do not spread it to anyone else. We are taking it one-day-at-a-time, that\'s all we can do. But let me tell you we\'ve never felt this ill, EVER!
"Cont\'d. I wouldn\'t wish this on anyone. So stay safe everyone and follow the advice of the experts - please take care of yourselves, loved ones and each other. (sic)"
The former \'Emmerdale\' star first spoke about her condition when she told a fan she was unable to send a video message to their granddad, who is on lockdown alone in Spain.
Responding to the request, she wrote: "Sorry Kerry. I am extremely ill with Corona at the moment (sic)"
The fan then wrote: "Oh my goodness! I feel terrible for even tweeting you about this! I hope you are much, much better soon x (sic)"
Several of Linda\'s other supporters wished her well.
One posted: "Wishing you a very speedy recovery. X (sic)"
Another shared: "Sending you all our love and hope you feel better soon love you very much (sic)"
And one tweeted: "Take care, Linda. Thinking of you."
