Anna insists she was, 'incredibly safe. I wore a mask. I used hand sanitizer.'
However, one day she decided to leave the house without wearing a mask and it's one of her biggest regrets.
She said, 'One. Time. And I ended up getting it. I believe it may have been because of that one time.'

Anna's experience
The Desperados actress continued, 'People are saying it’s like having the flu, but I’ve had the flu, and this is absolutely not that.'
'The panic of contracting a virus that is basically untreatable and is so new that no one knows the long term irreparable damage it does to your immune system is unbelievably stressful.'
'Completely losing my sense of smell and taste without knowing when or even if they will return is extremely disorienting.'

Anna revealed ever since contracting the virus, she's, 'only smelling about 30 percent,' of how she used to.
She shared, 'Other persistent symptoms are (a month later) dizziness, extreme fatigue, impacted sinuses, upset stomach, nausea, vomiting, and fever.'
'I’m lucky. Because I didn’t die. But people are.'
