In an Instagram video, she narrated, “I've been travelling a lot but I haven't been in church [lately].”

"When I got off the road on March 7th and the 8th, I came back to Oklahoma city and I really have been at home since then," Sandi said.

She added she “hadn't felt well” lately which is why she decided to get tested.

Sandi mentioned that she often visited her community church in Oklahoma, but she hasn't been there since she arrived.

She detailed that the only person who was around her during the time she came back from her trip was her husband Don.

Currently, the two are on home quarantine.

Sandi advised people to self-isolate and quarantine themselves during the COVID-19 pandemic.

"When we make the right choice to quarantine ourselves, not only are we protecting ourselves and thinking about ourselves, it's the right decision for everybody else too."

Friends - Today I received confirmation that I tested positive for COVID19. I am at home and Don and I are under quarantine for the next 14 days. I'm so impressed with how our Health Department handled my case and grateful for their attentiveness. They are working so hard right now to keep us all safe. WE MUST DO OUR PART. This is not fake news. If you are not already practicing social distancing and STAYING HOME, DO SO NOW! This is what we can all do. This is how we stop the spread. God has given us faith, but he's also given us wisdom. He has not given us a spirit of fear but of power, love, and of a sound mind. I will keep you posted as I can. (Oh! And cough in your elbow, not your hand 😬)
