Media personality and fashion entrepreneur, Toke Makinwa has revealed that she recently tested positive for coronavirus but has now fully recovered.
The Vlogger, in a video shared on her Instagram page on Thursday, October 29, said the experience wasn’t great for her and she doesn’t wish it for her worst enemy.
She stated that during her illness, she used both traditional and medical treatment in the bid to quickly get back on her feet.
Talking about how she must have possible contracted, Makinwa recounted how she was part of the #EndSARS protest walk from Lekki tollgate to Bonny camp two weeks ago.
Speaking further, the on-air-personality said she got really terrified when she lost her sense of taste and smell.
She however warned that the second wave of the pandemic is currently here in Nigeria and warned everyone to take all the COVID-19 protocols seriously.
Captioning her Instagram video, she wrote;
‘My COVID-19 experience
I have been missing in action for a bit guys, the last two weeks of my life has been pretty tough to handle. I tested positive to COVID-19 and my experience wasn’t great (I mean it’s Covid), shooting this Vlog was a lot as I am not a 100 percent yet but I’m hopeful the worst days are behind me. Covid is real guys, there is a second wave of the virus in town and it is spreading really fast. I can’t say for sure where I caught it but the worst thing for me was contact tracing. Having to call people I have been exposed to, to tell them to quarantine and trace people they have also been exposed to, the whole thing is a mess. I share my experience on the Vlog today which is late I know but pls be patient with me, the road to recovery is a lot, I am tired all the time, I have a bit of memory loss and I’m trying to find out what day is what. Doesn’t help that Nigeria itself has gone through something in this time too. Phewwww!!!! Health is the real wealth guys, pls be safe out there. My birthday is in less than a week, I just want to be a again. Covid is real, wear your mask and wash your hands always. Ok bye.
