Last week, Emmanuel Sahelangi, 32, tested positive for Covid-19. He had mild symptoms, so it was enough for him to self-isolate at home. However, he is not the only one infected now. His wife and 2-month-old child have also confirmed for Covid-19 according to the results of a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) swab test.

Emmanuel was not actually worried because their symptoms were also mild. “But I worry more about my child. I fear that it may be the onset of pneumonia or a severe [respiratory disease].
