Former Trinidad and Tobago beauty

queen, Kimberly Farrah Singh, says she tested positive for COVID-19 despite

following all the rules.

Singh, who represented the twin-island

republic at the Miss World pageant in 2015, shared that from the beginning of the

pandemic she has been overly-cautious, following all the COVID-19 protocols

only to discover that she still tested positive for the virus.

“I wore a mask properly every time

I was out, I practised social distancing, I sanitised/washed my hands often, I

avoided touching my face—- still became COVID-19 positive, “said

the former beauty queen on Facebook.

“I stayed at home, only left for

work, kept grocery, pharmacy and gas station runs to a minimum—– still

became COVID-19 positive. I have no symptoms—– still COVID-19

positive,” she added.

Singh told fans on her Facebook that

she was encouraged to get tested because she discovered that she was the

secondary contact to a positive case.

Singh encouraged Trinidadians to be

less judgemental and more concerned about those who were asymptomatic and

unknowingly spreading the disease.

“I have done all that was required

and acted responsibly. Now you may argue that I faltered in some way or

the other, guess what none of these measures are foolproof. That’s the

risk we take every time we leave our houses,” she said.

“Real talk though, we should be

more worried about the persons who are asymptomatic and don’t know they are

simply because they have no reason to get tested. Worry less about us, the

four hundred plus persons who are home isolated,” she added.
