Mary, a nurse in a public hospital in Cebu City, found herself in great disbelief after she found out the sad news on June 9, 2020. “Around April and May, several patients were rushed there due to difficulty in breathing. So, we immediately gave interventions like oxygen, without having to know if that patient is infected with coronavirus or not,” she said.
On June 11, 2020, her symptoms became worst. She said experienced sore and itchy throat, dry cough, and chest tightness due to pneumonia.I have also tried ‘supportive measures’ such as steam inhalation or ‘toub’ to lessen the discomfort, and deep breathing exercise,” she said.
