Answer

American English speaker here.  I note you live in South Asia, which has a very distinct dialect of English which is sometimes a little different than American English. So if a South Asian native English-speaker says I'm wrong, listen to him or her!  :D

Typically we would say, "afflicted with" or "affected by." It sounds a tiny bit strange to hear less-common prepositions.  Also, have + verb will be the past participle form, so for GET it would be HAVE GOTTEN.

I think my phone has gotten afflicted WITH (got afflicted with, is afflicted with...) coronavirus...
I think my phone has gotten affected BY (got affected by, is affected by...) coronavirus....

Answer
