Cascada singer Natalie Horler has tested positive for coronavirus, with the star admitting she’s going to take her quarantine ‘up a notch’.

The Evacuate The Dancefloor hitmaker explained to fans in an Instagram video that she’s ‘not really worried’ and has already been self-isolating.

‘Hi guys, good evening,’ she said. ‘Just a quick message to let you know that I just got a call from the hospital where I was tested today and I do have the coronavirus.

‘I’m okay, I’ve still got a temperature and a bit of a headache…but all in all I’m okay.’




She added that she was told her case would have a ‘mild development’, and added: ‘I’m not really worried.

‘Things aren’t going to change much to be fair, I’ve been isolating myself anyway these past eight days and I’m just going to continue and take the quarantine a notch up now, meaning no more random supermarket visits, no matter how careful, no more walks, I’m just going to get fresh air on the terrace and that’s going to be it.’

The 38-year-old added in the caption: ‘I’m afraid I have been tested positve for the corona virus…i’m still getting used to the thought, but saying that- nothing much changes about my everyday life really. [sic].

‘I’ve been self isolating for ages now anyway and now I’ll just not leave the house at all for the next 14 days and be in full blown quarantine🤷‍♀️.

What does self-isolation mean? Self-isolation means staying indoors and avoiding all contact with other people for 14 days, according to the NHS. It means no going to work, school, the shops or even to the park for some fresh air, in order to minimise the risk of passing on Covid-19. Public transport and taxis are a no-no and you shouldn’t have visitors over, even if you just stay at home. Anyone in self-isolation is advised to ask friends, family and delivery drivers to pick things up for you and drop them-off. You should put a sign outside telling people you are self-isolating and everything should be left on the floor outside your front door to avoid the risk of further infections.

Those who are self-isolating are still advised to stay away from their pets as much as possible and to wash their hands before and after touching them. If you live in a house share and have to self-isolate, the advice is to stay in your room with the door closed and only emerge to use communal kitchens, bathrooms and living areas if absolutely necessary. Who should self-isolate? The government advises anyone returning from Category 1 areas (Hubei, Iran, Italy and Daegu or Cheongdo in South Korea), to go straight home and self-isolate, even if they don't display any symptoms. Travellers should use the 111 online coronavirus service to find out what to do next. Anyone returning from Category 2 areas should self-isolate and call 111 if they have Covid-19 symptoms.

‘My case will most likely be mild, so the most important thing is to protect everyone else who may be at risk. So please continue to STAY HOME! Lots of love, nat x #stayhome.’

The star, who has been part of the group since 2004, alongside Yanou and DJ Manian, has received an outpouring of love from friends and fans since she posted the video.

She’s the latest star to have tested positive, following the likes of Tom Hanks, Idris Elba, and Linda Lusardi.

Meanwhile, the UK has now been put on lockdown in an attempt to slow the spread, with Boris Johnson banning gatherings of more than two people.
