As of Thursday night, 13,155 people had died in the nation, with well over 100,000 positive tests recorded.
And now Oriana, 23, has sent a warning to fans over the potential danger of "false negatives" as she continues to live with the virus.
She said: "I am updating you because many are asking me. On March 21, my boyfriend and I did a test for coronavirus. We tested positive.
"Three days ago they did the test again and it was negative. Yesterday morning I did another test.

"This proves how little we know about this virus, because we thought we had been infected by the contact of my boyfriend with his team-mate [Daniele Rugani] who was positive.
"But it seems strange to me because the 15 days in which we are sick have already passed, so it does not make sense that we continue to have it."
FEEL QUITE WELL
Fortunately, Oriana did go on to say both her and Dybala feel healthy - before urging people to stay at home to limit the spread of coronavirus.
She said: "However, we are very well and we have almost no symptoms. We feel quite well.
"We continue like this, of course, but continue to stay at home and those who have any doubts know that 15 days are not enough. Take care of yourself and others.
"I absolutely don't want to alarm people, the virus travels around the world, but maybe my experience can help someone and reassure those who, among so many deaths, also see people who recover.
"But many people contact me asking me about the virus, what medicines they prescribed or if we are well or why I turned out to be negative and then positive...
