The 45-year-old actress assured her fans that her case is mild, but emphasized that the same can't be said for everyone else's. “Do not take it lightly, there are lives at stake and we still do not know how far this will go,” she wrote.
Ituño joins several other public figures in sharing their coronavirus diagnoses with their many followers. So far, Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson, Idris Elba, Daniel Dae Kim, Prince Albert II of Monaco, and others have come down with the virus.

The fourth season of Money Heist, one of the most popular shows on Netflix, is set to premiere on April 3, 2020. Last season, Ituño's character—a police inspector-turned-criminal–teamed up with the robbers from season 1 to commit another complicated heist.
