People are refusing to sell to my wife – Coronavirus survivor

Recounting his experience to the media on Thursday, April 16, Mr Drah said he fell ill on March 17 and decided to get tested for COVID-19, the highly infectious respiratory disease caused by the new Coronavirus.

The test came back positive and Mr Drah was taken to a specialised facility at the GA East to receive medical care. He remained at an isolation ward until last week when he was discharged following his recovery from COVID-19.

Mr Drah revealed that he was given very good treatment by Doctors and Nurses at the Ga East Hospital until he was finally declared free from the deadly COVID-19.

However, Mr Drah reveals that returning home has been even painful than when he suffered from the killer disease. According to him, he and his family have been seriously stigmatised by neighbours and other residents in his community.

He reveals that shop attendants have even refused to sell foodstuff to his wife while barbers fail to attend to him for fear of contracting the virus.

“Whenever my wife goes out to buy something from the stores around us, the stores refuse to sell to them. In some circumstances, even though they have a particular item, they will not sell it with the excuse they don’t have it,” Mr Drah said.
