“I have Covid,” the reality star revealed. “I’ve been isolated in my room since I found out. My family & I have been super cautious & careful, so this is super scary.”
Like so many other people, Polizzi’s symptoms started out as a “bad sinus cold,” including a headache, stuffy nose, and mild cough. When she started experiencing other symptoms, Polizzi knew something was wrong.
“I felt super tired and ended up napping all day which made me go get tested,” she continued in her Instagram caption, adding:
Today I just feel groggy. I ended up losing my taste and smell last night. It’s fricken weird. I had a greasy cheese pizza & couldn’t taste a damn thing. WHAT A SIN.
The rest of my family tested negative, so I am here hiding out in my bedroom until this is over. Slide over to the next pic. I woke up to roses and chocolates thrown on my floor from my family. Still showing my quarantine a*s Love on Valentine’s Day!
Polizzi concluded by writing that she was OK and urged her followers to stay safe. After the outpouring of love and support from fans, Polizzi posted on her Instagram Stories to elaborate on her situation.

And for being careful now. None of us are perfect, and no one should be shamed for having COVID. That’s nonsense. It happens to people who are incredibly careful and isolated. And we will also have to live long-term with intense restrictions so…we do the best we can and hope it is enough. Hope you feel better soon and the family stays healthy
