"Got my results back today and they came back positive for Covid," Johnson, said on her Instagram story, People Magazine reported.

Johnson later elaborated on the seriousness of her diagnosis.

"1: I don't want to get my family sick. 2: I have asthma and have had it my entire life so this scares me a little extra. 3: had a very close family member fight for his life last month while battling Covid so it's a serious topic of concern/hits home in our household, Johnson continued.

As reported by Page Six, the 'Dancing with the Stars' alum said she's experienced symptoms such as a cough, a headache and a "terrible sore throat."

"Fatigue for sure... but that's pregnancy haha," she stated.
