SINGAPORE – Much has happened since Mr Raju Sarker, 39, was infected with Covid-19.
For one thing, the number of coronavirus infections has shot up to more than 30,000 since Mr Raju, Singapore’s case 42, was hospitalised in early February.
The Bangladeshi national, the first foreign worker in Singapore to contract the virus, has also become a father. His son was born on March 30.
Before he came down with Covid-19, he had worked in Singapore for close to a decade. But he hopes to return to Bangladesh soon to be with his family.
Mr Raju spent nearly three months in hospital, with the bulk of his time spent sedated and needing the help of a ventilator to breathe.
He saw his son for the first time over video chat in mid-April, a week after his condition improved and he was transferred out of the intensive care unit to a general ward in Tan Tock Seng Hospital.
In an e-mail interview facilitated by the Migrant Workers’ Centre (MWC) on Saturday (May 23), Mr Raju said: ” I felt good seeing them. I asked them how are they doing?”
