- symptoms started with sneezing and sore throat for a lot of people. Don’t assume it’s a cold because you’re vaccinated.
- don’t bother with rapid/ lateral flow tests if it’s in the first 5 days after exposure. You’ll likely be undetectable + test negative.
She had both sets of vaccinations but spoke of how "unpleasant" the mild version of the virus is.
Despite feeling unwell, she said she was grateful to be vaccinated and asked her fans to get vaccinated as soon as they could.
She told people that symptoms were similar to cold symptoms and that people who are vaccinated should not assume it is just a cold.
She also advised that the Lateral Flow tests will test negative within the first five days of exposure.
Marina, who was raised in Abergavenny, released her fifth album, Ancient Dreams in a Modern Land, last month.
