Former “Real Housewives of Atlanta” cast member Sheree Whitfield revealed on Instagram Tuesday that she has tested positive for COVID-19.

"I tested positive for COVID-19, so I've kind of just really been at home self-quarantining for the past week and a half," she said on the video to her 977,000 followers. "I just want you guys to know that it is no joke. I'm feeling much better today, thank you to everybody who knew they had not heard from me and reached out... I just have been out of it."

Others from the “Real Housewives” franchise have also had the virus,  including Jennifer Aydin of the New Jersey version, Ramona Singer from New York and Bravo’s “Housewives” overseer Andy Cohen.

Whitfield was an original “Housewife” from 2008 until 2012, then returned for seasons 8 to 10, leaving again in 2018.

“Real Housewives “ would be normally in the middle of production for season 13, but the pandemic has delayed taping.
