Following her run in David Mamet's Speed the Plow in London, Lohan had been vacationing in French Polynesia.
However, she isn't letting the diagnosis completely dampen her spirits. "In good faith with good people. I refuse to let a virus [affect] my peaceful vacation be safe and happy on the new year all," she captioned a selfie the following day.
