Elvy Sukaesih Urges People Not to Underestimate Health Protocols

Kapanlagi.com - Some time ago, Elvy Sukaesih had to withdraw from the outside world after being declared positive for Covid-19. After recovering, she shared the story of how she initially contracted the coronavirus.

"It's funny, we were going to perform and then we had the morning swab test, but in the afternoon, my assistant got the result separately even though we did the swab test together. In the afternoon, at half past two, we were already nervous, because I was positive, but it turns out she (the assistant) was negative, how is that possible," said Elvy Sukaesih when met in the Daan Mogot area, West Jakarta, on Sunday night (1/11).

"Because I tested positive, I did another swab test, and thankfully, that night I got a leak that I was negative, but I still had to appear, but it's okay, maybe Allah didn't allow me," she continued.

1. Initially Negative

Initially, the 69-year-old woman was declared negative after undergoing a second swab test. However, when she returned home after doing a radio broadcast, Elvy suddenly felt nauseous and unwell.

"I felt it, suddenly I only went out for a radio broadcast and when I got home, I felt nauseous, bloated, and uncomfortable. At first, I could still taste the food, but then it started to feel unpleasant. The perfume spray didn't smell, so in the end, I took another rapid test at the hospital and I don't know the result yet. The result of the lung test was good," she said.

2. Undergoes Third Swab

Because she was still curious, Elvy Sukaesih decided to undergo her third swab test a day after experiencing various symptoms. That's when she found out that she was positive for Covid-19.

"But because I was still curious, the next day I took the test again, did a scan and a swab, and it turned out that the result was positive. There were white spots, but luckily they were still thin," she said.

3. Implement Health Protocols

Having been a Covid-19 patient, Elvy Sukaesih urges the public not to underestimate the pandemic that is currently affecting the whole world. She emphasizes that health protocols such as washing hands, wearing masks, and avoiding crowds are very important in order to suppress the spread of the coronavirus.

"Of course, everyone should not say that Covid doesn't exist, we still have to implement the protocols, so frequently wash hands, maintain distance, wear masks, and avoid crowds, if possible, for the sake of our collective well-being," she concluded.

Just like Elvy Sukaesih mentioned, it is important for KLovers to always #IngatPesanIbu (Remember Mother's Message). Wear masks, wash hands regularly, and maintain distance. Stay safe!
