She shared her medical condition – from infection to diagnosis – with her 1.3 million followers on Instagram, who were surprised to see that the influencer had decided to go on a trip.
Ignoring the comments and calls for her to remain in self-isolation for 14 days, she continued to post photos showing her enjoying the sun. Still, most of the followers condemned her in the comments.
