Bella Hadid and mom Yolanda cover their mouths and stock up on green juice as they brave the New York streets amid coronavirus outbreak
As the number of people testing positive for coronavirus continues to climb in New York City, Bella Hadid left her apartment in New York City with extreme caution.
The 23-year-old supermodel, who was joined with her mom Yolanda Hadid, held a black scarf protectively around her mouth and carried a green juice in her hand.
She was accompanied by her mother, former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, Yolanda Hadid, 56, who pulled her grey turtleneck above her head.
The two were laden down with luggage, and looked as though they may be leaving the city.
