Staying positive while Covid-19-positive is possible via TheCitizen_News
On 16 June, as the country was celebrating a bittersweet Youth Day from the confines of their homes and regulation-cleared workspaces, Eastern Cape local government employee Nontozamo Xozwa started a small support group comprising of Facebook friends who were affected by or infected with Covid-19.
Testimonies have since been pouring in from the group of people who have pulled themselves through grueling isolation and healing with the help of members of the support group. “During lockdown, I noticed that government was giving all kinds of support for treatment and care, but there was a gap in terms of psycho-social support. Now we are all on lockdown, others are in isolation and quarantine. I thought let me make this platform to give people a space to share how they feel.”
Xozwa is inundated with requests for assistance from hundreds of members daily and she is now making a call to those who have resources to help others to join or contact the group Covid Nineteen Support Group at 082 932 5565. “I am just coming out of a support group webinar with doctors who are also feeling heightened anxiety of ‘what if I give it to my family and children? What if my patient infects me?’, and the worst thing is ‘what if I end up watching my patient die right in front of me and I have done everything that the books say you are supposed to do?’ Even those books are just general articles and updates that come from time to time. So, for everyone, it is a difficult one.
