The James Bond actress took to Instagram on Sunday to share her diagnosis. The 40-year-old model said she had been ill for "almost a week". In a caption wrote alongside a photo showing a view through a window, Olga wrote, "Locked up at home after having tested positive for Coronavirus. I’ve actually been ill for almost a week now. Fever and fatigue are my main symptoms. Take care of yourself and do take this seriously! Сижу в изоляции дома с диагнозом Коронавирус. Уже почти неделю болею. Температура и слабость - мои основные симптомы. Будьте осторожны и принимайте это во всерьёз! #coronavirus #коронавирус."

Olgs's is the latest name from the international entertainment industry to have contracted the COVID-19, which was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organisation (WHO) last week. Last week, fans of Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson got a piece of shocking news when the actor announced that the pair have been diagnosed with coronavirus while in Australia. In a social media post to fans, Tom said the couple "want to thank everyone here Down Under who are taking such good care of us. We have Covid-19 and are in isolation so we do not spread it to anyone else. There are those for whom it could lead to a very serious illness. We are taking it one-day-at-a-time."

In addition to this, Universal Music chairman and CEO Lucian Grainge was also hospitalised for treatment of the infection over the weekend.
