奈尔迪马科在Instagram透露，上周日晚间开始连续48小时，经历发烧、发冷、喉咙痛、轻微咳嗽等，而且失去味觉、嗅觉等新冠肺炎的症状，当时他保持镇定，与医生沟通之后，选择自我居家检疫，在家密切观察呼吸道状况，严重的话可能会致命，还好目前正在康复，不过仍保持隔离中。
然而，奈尔迪马科自知非常可能感染新冠肺炎，不过他拒绝参加检测，「美国covid-19试剂短缺，很多重症患者比我更需要它！」他坦言，明白检测是很重要的，而且在南韩等国家中已证明可以有效控制疫情，「在完美的情况下，我当然会接受检测，然而美国并非足够人人接受检测。」
现年30岁的奈尔迪马科是2015年美国综艺节目《超级名模生死斗》第22季的冠军，也是史上第一位聋哑人士冠军、第二位男性冠军，近年来开始在美剧演出。
I do not typically do this but I wanted to share something… I’ve been really sick and I am now on the mend. It is very possible I contracted coronavirus and I have access to get tested but I do not want to. The reason is because there is a shortage of covid-19 test kits in the U.S. and the sick patients need it more than I do. For 48 hours starting Sunday night, I had a fever, body chills, a sore throat and a mild cough. All these are symptomatic of COVID-19. Some with COVID-19 have reported not being able to taste or smell. That was my experience too. I knew I wasn’t a high risk so I stayed calm. I communicated with my doctor and self-quarantined. I kept an eye out for any respiratory issues because if it worsened, it could be deadly. But I recovered…. And I still am self-isolating. I’d like to stress that testing is important. Widespread testing has been a key part for some countries like South Korea’s efforts in handling Covid-19. In a perfect world, I’d take the test. Unfortunately the U.S. lacks enough test kits. If you are healthy and have no respiratory issues, I encourage you to be mindful of sick patients that need to get tested more than you do. And stay at home to avoid spreading and help flattening the curve. We’re in this together. Let look out for each other!!
