COVID-19 patient calls for kindness, says you feel a heavy psychological burden
Keri Miller spoke to a woman who's been diagnosed with
COVID-19. She says sufferers need love and support, adding that being infected
carries a heavy psychological burden at a time when your immune system is
already compromised.
Buli Maliza from Johannesburg gave Keri an exclusive interview about the virus and how she's feeling. In the beginning, she didn't have many symptoms, just a cough and night sweats.
Maliza said she would have passed it off as flu, but because COVID-19 has been spreading rapidly, she decided to cancel her trip to Japan and stay home.
