Kurylenko has had French citizenship since 2001 and Russian reports say she has lived in London for around a decade, but she did not say where she was undergoing quarantine.

Britain’s death toll leapt from 21 to 35 yesterday and included Nick Matthews, 59 — the youngest UK victim.

The number of cases rose from 1,140 to 1,391 yesterday.

In another post the actress revealed that she is eating garlic to boost her immune system.

“I have cough only in the morning, then I do not have any cough at all," she said.

“Unfortunately, we have no cure for this virus. We must wait until it passes.”



The Soviet-born star told her 567,000 followers: “To bring down the temperature, they said to take Paracetamol, which I do.

“That's all. Nothing more to do. Of course, I still take vitamins for myself like that.

“And I eat garlic, just for the immune system.

“I drink water. Squeeze lemons in water. That's all.”

The star posted a picture showing a view through a window in her home where she is in quarantine.

Mother-of-one Kurylenko, originally from Ukraine, rose to fame as a model after being discovered in Moscow at the age 13.

She is best known for the 007 movie when she played Bond girl Camille Montes and sci-fi film Oblivion, where she starred opposite Tom Cruise.

She also featured in The Death of Stalin and The Man Who Killed Don Quixote.
