Kyle Richards has tested positive for coronavirus

Kyle Richards has tested positive for coronavirus. 

The ‘Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ has been “separated” from her family amid her diagnosis and she has confessed she can’t wait to hug her family again.

Taking to Instagram, she shared: “I love these people so much. Some of you may have heard I have COVID. I got it after these photos were taken. Since I was diagnosed I have been separated from my family in order to keep them healthy. Unfortunately , Sophia also got it. We will stay in isolation until it’s safe to see the family and others again . I can’t wait to hug them.”

Meanwhile, Kyle previously opened up about the loss of her mother.

The 51-year-old television star lost her mother, Kathleen Richards, to breast cancer in 2002, and she’s now urging other women to take preventive measures against the disease.

She explained: “I lost my mom to breast cancer 18 years ago. So, it’s really important to me to use my platform and my voice and get out there and remind women to get their mammograms and do a self-exam every single month, because you really can save your life. When I think about the fact that my mom did not have a mammogram for five years because she was afraid, it tortures me, you know? So, I don’t want other women to suffer like that or their loved ones to suffer, too.”
