Thirty-five-year-old Lucy Okechukwu, a journalist based in Anambra State, shares her COVID-19 experience with DAYO OJERINDEMy husband took ill two weeks before I started feeling unwell. He visited hospital and was given an anti-malaria drug. Even after his medication, he complained of extreme tiredness.
My husband called one of the state’s emergency health lines several times before they eventually picked the call and after a series of questions about our state of health, they asked us to come to their office for the test. Inserting that cotton stick in my nostril and throat was very irritating. After the test, they asked us to quarantine ourselves, while waiting for the results.
The very severe cases were isolated in the Intensive Care Unit. We heard some were on drip or intubated. We could see some of their family members far off the building, waiting to see a doctor, whom they could ask about the health statuses of their loved ones. My case was not a severe one, because most of us in that particular isolation ward were asymptomatic patients.
