Sania informed she had contracted the virus despite taking all precautions. So she urged everyone to wear masks and continue washing their hands.

Sharing her experience, Sania said staying in isolation away from her family was ‘scary’. “I can’t even imagine what people and their families are going through when people are sick in hospital all alone and by themselves. It was scary as you aren’t very sure what to expect and hear so many different things and stories. You get a new symptom every day. The uncertainty of it is extremely hard to deal with not just physically but mentally and emotionally as well,” Sania informed.
