The actress, 40, announced her diagnosis on her Instagram page on Tuesday afternoon and explained she is donating to the NHS because she is 'aware what a privilege it is to be able access tests privately' in the current climate.
The Split star told her followers her GP has confirmed it is safe for her to see her daughter Freya, 16, and said her loved ones are 'not displaying any signs of the virus'.
Alongside an accompanying selfie, Donna wrote: 'Hi Guys. I hope everyone is managing to stay strong and in relatively good spirits during the lockdown.
'I just wanted to let you know developed mild flu like symptoms and started self isolating 18 days ago, I took a test for some clarity & the results tested positive for Covid19.
'Thankfully symptoms improved shortly after and my loved ones are not displaying any signs of the virus.'
Donna also explained she 'boosted' her immune system when she felt at her worst, and urged the public to 'stay home and save lives' as the nation works to overcome the ongoing global pandemic.
She added: 'I will continue to follow government guidelines & in the meantime I am sending masses of love to you all especially those on the front line.
'I am aware what a privilege it is to be able access tests privately, so I have donated some to friends working for the @NHS. I feel relieved having consulted my gp who has confirmed it is safe to see my daughter again.
'Happy to answer questions on symptoms or give info on what I did to boost my immune system when I felt at my worst . #Stayhome & #Savelives. #staystrong #selfcare #covid19 #overcorona Donna x.' (sic)
