The former reality star went to encourage her thousands of social media followers to take the global pandemic seriously.

Although Whitfield didn’t reveal how long she’s been battling the virus, she did say that she’s on the mend.
“I’m feeling much better today. Thank you to everybody who knew they had not heard from me and reached out…I’ve just have been out of it,” she continued.
The former designer was shown support by Real Housewives of Potomac cast member Gizelle Bryant who wrote in a comment, “Glad you’re feeling better,” beside the praying hands emoji.
Whitfield is not alone in battling the novel coronavirus. Real Housewives executive producer Andy Cohen, who spearheads each franchise, contracted the virus as well along with millions of other people around the world.
Get well soon!
