"There are so many people in hospitals fighting for their lives and isolated from family.
"I do get scared but I know I'm fortunate and so grateful that I am able to get through this at home."
While most of her following send their well wishes, some questioned whether the influencer and best-selling author had caught the virus while attending events on holidays in the Hamptons.
"Of course I could have been more careful and still got it … the virus is still very much here and I will be taking it even more seriously going forward."
It is understood Ms Bernstein is now back in New York City to quarantine with her partner, who also tested positive but it asymptomatic for now.
