“We just got Colton’s test results back and he tested positive,” the California native, 24, explained in an Instagram Story on Friday, March 20, shortly after the former Bachelor, 28, opened up about his diagnosis. “The doctor said that he was one of three people who tested positive that day out of 20 tests that he gave, and that number is probably only gonna keep increasing.”

The grad student continued, reminding her followers of the importance of social distancing during the global coronavirus pandemic. “We’re here with my family,” she explained. “We’ve been quarantining ourselves for the past week now … We’re all making sure to take very good care of ourselves and staying healthy. We’re trying to one, stay positive, two, take a lot of vitamins, and get a lot of sleep.”

“I can’t even walk up a flight of stairs without being out of breath,” the reality TV personality admitted. “I can’t go to the bathroom without having to sit down because I’m exhausted, so I guess the reason I’m sharing this is not to cause fear or panic, but to encourage you guys to do your part.”
