247 - Actress Claudia Raia has stated that she and her family have tested positive for the novel coronavirus. This information comes from Metrópoles.

“We got 'coronated' at home. It was crazy. I went downstairs to get some food and I think it was in the elevator,” Claudia said in a live broadcast for Harper's Bazaar Brazil magazine.

The actress is married to Jarbas Homem de Mello, who was also infected. Their children, Enzo Celulari and Sophia Raia, were also infected.

"What we need to understand is that this disease is random. Two: it depends on the viral load you get. You can get a very high viral load, and I can get a lower viral load, which is what happened to me," he said.

Claudia explained that her children were not home when she contracted the disease. She said she went downstairs to get food, and soon after, she and her husband experienced Covid-19 symptoms.

“I had a terrible headache for about three days. On the first day, it felt like I had been in an MMA fight, I was physically destroyed: pain in large muscles, like my legs and glutes. I lost my sense of smell and taste,” she stated.
