NEW PORT RICHEY, Fla. -- When she found out she and her parents tested positive for the coronavirus, Jessica Jagoda, 18, said she knew she wanted to share her story.

"I was trying to really reach out to everyone in my community because I want everyone to know that it is actually serious and it was here in Pasco County," said Jagoda, a senior at River Ridge High School.

In a YouTube video RRHS posted to its Facebook page Saturday, Jagoda said her parents were initially diagnosed with upper respiratory infections before her father became seriously ill last Wednesday.

"He wasn't able to breathe anymore, and me and my mom had tried sending him to the hospital. But when we were trying to help him get up, he went into a coughing fit and passed out on us," Jagoda said in the video.

Jagoda said she and her parents learned of their positive results Saturday. Through it all, she's had virtually no symptoms.

"I am feeling almost perfectly normal. I get a little tired at times and everything, but otherwise, I feel fine," she said.

Aside from raising awareness about coronavirus cases in Pasco, Jagoda said there was another reason she made the video.

"My peers have been posting on their Snapchat stories, and they show they're going out -- they're on the boat, they're with a bunch of people, they're at their houses kind of partying, hanging out all together," she said. "I was trying to tell them, this is how it's spreading and getting on more. Us teens, we're not really going to feel anything, according to what the doctors are saying. So, they can probably have the virus or just be carrying it and they can be giving it to adults."

RRHS's original Facebook post of the video, titled "STAY AT HOME - A message from Jessie," had been shared more than 500 times and racked up more than 21,000 views by Tuesday evening.

Jagoda said her father was released from the hosptial and her parents are recovering. Her family plans to remain in isolation until they test negative for coronavirus, and Jagoda has another message she wants to get out there.

"Make sure we all take care of each other and that we're all going to be okay," she said. "We're all going to get through this as long as we follow the precautions."
