2022/07/24 Covid-19

Traveling during the pandemic requires taking all the necessary precautions to protect oneself and others from Covid-19. Before I left my old home, I made sure to get a negative PCR test, wear a mask on the flight, and avoid large crowds as much as possible. However, despite my best efforts, I still contracted the virus.

Once I felt sick, I knew right away that it was Covid-19. The symptoms felt different and hit me hard. I experienced a fever, body aches, and a dry cough that lasted for the first week. It was not a mild experience, but fortunately, I did not require medical attention.

To manage the symptoms, I took medication and made sure to rest as much as possible. Sleeping was my priority, and I drank plenty of water to stay hydrated. The second week was a bit easier, but I still felt tired easily. After testing negative for Covid-19, I continued to wear a mask and practice social distancing when going out.

Despite the challenging start, I slowly settled into my new home and started to explore the surroundings. Sampling street food and visiting a local market were some of the highlights of my recovery. While it was not the ideal start to my new start, I embraced the unique experience.
