MARINA says she got COVID last week and warns people to "be careful"

After releasing the Kito remix of "Venus Fly Trap" featuring Tove Lo last Friday (16 July), MARINA told fans via her Instagram Story that she got COVID last week.

MARINA wrote, "I got Covid last week, as did five of my friends. We were all double vaccinated."

She continued, "Just want to say be careful out there. Breakthrough cases are more common than are being reported. The main job of this vaccine is to prevent serious illness or death - and I'm so glad (and grateful) I have it, otherwise I wouldn't be feeling okay on day six. However, it doesn't make the "mild" version of Covid any less unpleasant. It sucks! I definitely had a false sense of security indoors and so wanted to give you all a heads up."

MARINA added, "PS get vaxxed as soon as you're offered it. I would not want to go through an even worse version of the last week!"

Update- Marina got COVID despite being vaccinated. She got through it pretty quickly and she's fine, but the vaccine does not make you infallible, be safe out there! pic.twitter.com/XPeUuKXitc
