After 14 days of blockade, households in alley 82 Ly Chinh Thang (District 3) were tested for the last time. If all are negative, this place is barricaded.

Unfortunately, Tuan Anh (28 years old) was confirmed to be infected with nCoV. Everyone was surprised because during this time of isolation, Tuan Anh was mostly confined to the house.

In early July, the alley where Tuan Anh lived was immediately blocked when the first case was detected. This place then recorded more F0, many cases are neighbors of Tuan Anh.

To protect himself, during the quarantine, he only stayed at home. Food and food delivered by relatives.

"When I went out to get food at the gate, I wore a mask, a mask, a hat, gloves, sprayed disinfectant very carefully. Entered the house to disinfect from top to bottom," Tuan Anh said.

After two negative tests, Tuan Anh and his neighbors entered the final test before the blockade was lifted. However, he was the only one infected.

The ward medical representative advised him to self-isolate at home, stay in his own room and keep calm.

"When I heard that I was infected with Covid-19, I was a bit worried, but not surprised because a few days ago I sneezed continuously, had a slight fever, my muscles were tired when I slept, and I did not feel good when I ate," Tuan said. he told.

After that, alley 82 Ly Chinh Thang was removed from the blockade, only the house where Tuan Anh lived was barricaded.

Moving out to live separately for a long time, Tuan Anh decided not to announce his illness so his parents wouldn't have to worry. After being informed of the test results, he contacted the local health authority for instructions on how to treat.

"I couldn't contact the ward medical staff. At that time, I understood that everyone was very busy and overloaded, so I thought that if I could do something, I would do it myself," Tuan Anh said.

As F0 symptoms are mild, this young man tries to stay calm, trying to contact his doctor for advice on what to do when self-treating at home. Tuan Anh determined that he had to maintain activities, the more stressed, the more severe the disease.

Sharing his own experience, Tuan Anh said: "A day, you should bathe twice, rinse your mouth with diluted salt water twice, blow your nose with physiological saline. I eat a lot of meat, fish, and green vegetables. I don't eat any day. If you lose your taste, you can eat whatever you want, as long as you don't skip any meals during the day."

In the morning, Tuan Anh usually drinks a glass of lemongrass and honey. In the afternoon, he drinks a glass of nut milk, a glass of orange cinnamon honey in the evening and regularly drinks about 2-2.5 liters of water per day.

In addition, every day, Tuan Anh is steamed with oranges, lemons, lemongrass, cinnamon, orange peels, grapefruit peels... Every day he takes one Paracetamol tablet in the morning and one Efferalgan tablet in the afternoon.

This young man maintains exercise to improve health. On days when his physical condition is weak, breathing difficulty or chest tightness, he reduces the intensity of exercise, taking time to breathe and rest.

Singing, painting and listening to music are also focused on by Tuan Anh in the self-healing process. Singing helps him feel his throat, lungs, and chest, and at the same time uplifts his spirit.

On the afternoon of July 30, the ward medical office announced that Tuan Anh's test result was negative. At this time, he just called his parents to inform him that he had been infected with nCoV.

Overcoming the reluctant experience, Tuan Anh believes that at the present time, everyone has to protect themselves. If possible, prepare medicine and an optimistic spirit to be ready to fight the epidemic.

He also supports the policy for mild, asymptomatic F0 to be isolated at home. The self-isolation model helps patients have more comfortable eating and living conditions.
