COVID-19 Survivor Story

Ivuoma Tom, a healthcare worker in Nigeria for a private hospital, is a COVID-19 survivor. Even with in-depth research and an online course about the virus, she was not prepared for the two weeks she spent with the virus

Ivuoma expressed that albeit the safety measures reinforced at the hospital, she was still contaminated with the virus when treating a patient unknowingly carrying it. Sixteen days after exposure, she then remained five days on oxygen, since it was hard for Ivuoma to even breathe. She is highly grateful for her fiancé and family who aided her in these times. 

Ivuoma says, “I am not a careless person, yet I contracted the virus. COVID-19 has taught me to be much more careful in observing all precautions, such as hand washing, wearing a face mask and keeping physical distance. Now I hardly go out except to work. I feel really bad whenever I see someone who still thinks coronavirus is a scam in Nigeria.” 

YIV hopes that everyone can take mindful precautions and stay safe during this challenging time! We are here for anyone who requires support.
