Nollywood actress Zainab Balogun has survived coronavirus.

The 31-year-old shared a video of herself jubilating as her test came back negative in an Instagram post on Monday.

She said she has been waiting to hear she is now Covid-free.

“I’m Covid Free!!! 3 words that i’ve been waiting to say for what seemed like forever. I did my 3rd covid PCR test on Friday and woke up NEGATIVE.

“Allow me to act a fool and celebrate because God knows I was ready to be done. Thank you for checking in guys,” she wrote.

In another post she shared a picture and a video sharing part of her experience.

She said, “I have never missed sitting on this sofa or being able to hug my family like I did in the last few weeks. While my covid symptoms were mild, isolation was very lonely! I felt it was important to document this journey from day 1.”

Zainab revealed that she had tested positive for coronavirus in a video shared on Instagram on December 24, 2020.

“Imagine going the whole year and then testing positive for covid two days before Christmas🙆🏽‍♀️. I laughed when I got my results because I was super convinced it wasn’t happening as you’ll see in the clip.

“I was having my seasonal asthma flare up and experiencing covid like symptoms from my normal meds which didn’t prompt me to think otherwise,” she wrote.
