Purab Kohli: We’ve just had a flu and given our symptoms our GP says we were down with Covid-19

A few weeks ago, singer Kanika Kapoor was tested positive for COVID-19, but thankfully a couple of days ago, she was tested negative and was discharged from the hospital. A few days ago, actress Zoa Morani and her sister Shaza Morani were also tested positive and currently they are going through treatment for the same.

Now, actor Purab Kohli, who is currently in London, has revealed that he and his family had symptoms of flu and their general physician (GP) told them they are suffering from COVID-19. The Rock On actor took to Instagram to inform everyone about it and also revealed the home remedies that they did during the quarantine.

Purab wrote on Instagram, “Hey guys, we’ve just had a flu and given our symptoms our GP says we were down with Covid 19. Pretty similar to a regular flu with a stronger cough and a feeling of breathlessness. Inaya got it first and very mild. A cough and a cold for two days. Then Lucy got it more in the chest, quite similar to the cough symptom everyone has been talking about. Then me, i got a solid cold for one day which was horrid then it vanished and this irritating cough set in for 3 days. Three of us had only mild 100-101 temperatures and fatigue. Osian got it last with a 104 fever for 3 nights. Also a runny nose and a slight cough. His fever disappeared only on his 5th day. We were constantly in touch with the GP on the phone. Apparently everyone in London is getting it and its rampant here, and a few people we know have gotten it. Just wanted to share it with you if it helps reduce the panic a little to know someone who has had it and is fine. On Wednesday last week we were out of self imposed quarantine and are not contagious any longer. We were doing 4 to 5 steams and salt water gargles a day, ginger haldi honey mixtures to sooth the throat really helped. Also warm water bottles on the chest really helped relax the chest. Hot baths helped the fluie feelings. And of course lots and lots of rest even now after two weeks we can feel our bodies still recovering. Please stay safe. I hope none of you get it but if you do, know that your body is strong enough to fight it. Seek proper advice from your doctors as intensity of each case is different as was in my household alone. And please stay home and rest the body as much as possible. Lots of love. #CoronaVirus #Covid19 #Recovery #DontPanic #Breathe #Calm.”

On the professional front, the actor was last seen in Hotstar’s web series Out Of Love. He will next be seen on the big screen in Bob Biswas.
