(CNN) For actress Debi Mazar, it all started with a family illness.

Mazar alerted her followers Saturday via her verified Instagram account that she has tested positive for the coronavirus.

Best known for her roles in "Goodfellas," "Entourage" and "Younger," Mazar said she's doing OK, but shared that about a month ago, she, her husband and their two teen daughters "got an odd bug -- Lowgrade fever, headaches, sore throat, body aches, ears ringing and a dry cough. It cleared up quickly."

"Seasonal I thought?but it felt unusual/different," she wrote. "Two weeks later, March 15th, I woke up with all those same symptoms but super intense body aches, and 102.4 fever."

Mazar said she thought she might have either the flu or Covid-19 and asked a "doctor/friend" is she could get tested for the latter. She was told no because she didn't meet the criteria, including not having traveled lately or been with someone who had recently been diagnosed.
