NSTnation A former Covid19 sufferer was pleased that his final test results came out negative twice, and he was allowed to go home after 11 days of quarantine at the Sungai Buloh Hospital.
Upon being discharged on March 14, one of the first things Reza Huzairi Zainuddin did was to volunteer to donate his blood plasma to help in the search for a vaccine for the coronavirus.
Reza Huzairi, who hails from Jitra, was the first Malaysian to donate his convalescent plasma to test serum for Covid-19 treatment – and he said he could not feel prouder doing so. “I would like to donate the plasma again because they need an antiviral from a former patient to fight the disease... maybe in about two weeks I'll donate again. Besides, it doesn't hurt to do so," he said when contacted today.
He said he regularly washes his hands and practices social distancing, besides staying at home despite being told by doctors that the risk of contracting the disease for the second time is close to none, as he is now immune to Covid-19.“Although there may be no possibility of me contracting the virus for the second time, I am still taking precautionary measures as the outbreak still exists ... I am also traumatised by this, so it is best to continue with the care routine.
