all
my
fans
and
well-wishers.
Despite
taking
all
the
necessary
precautions,
I've
tested
positive
for
COVID-19
with
mild
symptoms.
I've
isolated
myself
at
home
and
have
been
following
medical
guidance.
Request
all
those
who
came
in
contact
with
me
to
get
themselves
tested.
I
urge
everyone
who's
not
taken
their
vaccination
to
do
so
immediately,

it
reduces
the
risk

severe
symptoms

Can't
wait
to
be
back.
