What else happened to Donna during lockdown 1.0?

Back in March 2020, Donna took to Instagram to let fans know that she had contracted the virus.

“Hi Guys. I hope everyone is managing to stay strong and in relatively good spirits during the lockdown,” she began.

“I just wanted to let you know [I] developed mild flu like symptoms and started self-isolating 18 days ago, I took a test for some clarity & the results tested positive for COVID-19.

“Thankfully symptoms improved shortly after and my loved ones are not displaying any signs of the virus.

“I will continue to follow government guidelines & in the meantime I am sending masses of love to you all… especially those on the frontline. (sic)”
