Dr  Ashlyn Job, a medical officer with an interest in Paediatrics, tested  positive for Covid-19 only two weeks after the first positive case in  South Africa. She describes her experience falling ill, initially being  in denial, testing for Covid-19 and subsequently self-isolating in her  bedroom for 14 days whilst treating herself. This provides us all with  insight into living with the disease, staying positive and remaining  hopeful in the fight.
