While the number of those who have succumbed to Covid-19 in South Africa has surpassed the 200 mark, the level of recoveries has been lauded.
Survivors expressed great joy and relief after escaping the clutches of this deadly disease.
Joburg-based yoga teacher Sharon Salomon, 39, said she and her husband were shocked when their results came back positive in late March after experiencing mild symptoms that included a dry cough and exhaustion. “Vitamins C and D helped me to recover. I avoided processed food like polony because it demands a lot of energy from the body to be digested. I ate a lot of fruits because I did not have the energy to cook.””
“One day while crying from missing my mom, I felt my chest burn from pain and that was an indication that my mental state needed to be healthy to help me with my overall recovery,” she said. The father of two said his symptoms of a sore throat, exhaustion and fever led him to test for Covid-19 and the results came back positive. Fortunately, his wife and their children were not infected.“Then I felt extreme dryness in my throat and that is when I realised that something was wrong. All this happened at a time when the disease was still new to us, and that scared me a lot,” said Sweidan.
While in isolation, he reached out to his network to educate those curious to learn more about Covid-19.
