Actor Zoa Morani tested positive for the novel coronavirus on Tuesday, 7 April, soon after her sister Shaza Morani tested positive for the virus. Their father, producer Karim Morani also contracted the virus. The actor, currently admitted to Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital, joined her close friend and actor Varun Dhawan for an Instagram live where she talked about her symptoms, experience and treatment.
Talking about her experience at the hospital, Zoa said that she has been feeling much better ever since she was admitted. “Ever since I came to the hospital, I have definitely felt 40 times better. My breathlessness stopped on the second day, I could feel a little congestion and a little fever, but it’s so much better than I was feeling at home,” Zoa said.
“It feels like normal flu, nothing to be scared of. It is scary because it is a pandemic and it is affecting so many people worldwide, but my symptoms weren’t so serious.”Zoa Morani
Varun went on to ask her about the medications she is receiving at the hospital, to which Zoa replied that she is being given Vitamin C and HCQ tablets and the doctors also started antibiotics because her fever wasn’t subsiding.
Talking about her sister and father, Zoa said, “Shaza had a headache and fever for a week, and then her symptoms disappeared. I don’t know how Shaza tested positive because she had zero symptoms. Even Papa (Karim Morani) had zero symptoms.”
