Dear Lybrate reader you will not get viral disease from ant because ants are not reservoirs of viruses.

Hello Sunanda , Currently we are free from Virus that are carried by ants , so you need Not to tension. And Virus can enter through the opening like mouth , nose , eyes etc . Skin cracks which are free from blood don't let any virus enter. But if there is fresh cut or wound on your skin then there are risk. But for your question killing ant will not cause any virus entry in your body so relax.
