World No. 112 (95 doubles) Anna Kalinskaya has revealed that she tested positive for Covid-19 three weeks ago.



The Russian, who is based in Miami, said she suffered a loss of her sense of smell, headaches and fatigue, but has since tested negative twice and is back on the practice court.

Hi everyone! Life update-3 weeks ago I tested positive for covid-19. Grateful my symptoms have been extremely manageable (headache,no smell,weakness in the body).I was self quarantined for 14 days. 1 week ago I had 2 more tests and it was negative. So far I’m feeling fine now and back to practice. Just a reminder for people: if someone is sick around you,please make a test,even if you don’t have any symptoms,wear a mask , wash your hands. Think about others. Stay healthy and safe. 🙏🏽🤗😷
