The star has been open about her struggles with diabetes, which has led to weight loss and many unfounded death rumours on social media.
“I have seen an emergency room once in this delicate time, and it was just high sugar levels. The doctors, the nurses, the caregivers, the police, the army who daily sacrifice themselves. They all have families who need them too. We pray for you. Thank you.
“We woke up today and have survived Covid-19. Some families have lost their loved ones. I’m living with diabetes and most vulnerable to this pandemic. I’m still here. So grateful. But from tomorrow and lockdown level 3, let’s be responsible,” she wrote.
The star is diabetic and has been candid about her fight against the disease, which has led to severe weight loss and death rumours.

Sophie has been extra-cautious as the coronavirus continues to spread, and took to Instagram on Sunday to share her gratitude for life and “constant restoration”.
She ended her post by reminding followers to “remember the fight is not over” and to “wear your mask”.
Speaking on "Afternoon Express" this week, the former "Generations" star shared some of the vicious remarks that South Africans had made towards her after she started losing weight while being interviewed by Palesa Tembe.
“I think South Africans don't realise the pain and the journey of losing half yourself and think it's a joke", she said.
