SINGAPORE – A 47-year-old woman who was in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) has made a full recovery, and was discharged on Sunday (Feb 16).
The Ministry of Health (MOH) said that the woman, who wanted to be known only as Mrs Zhang, was case 15, and she, her husband and teenage son were among the 92 Singaporeans who were evacuated from Wuhan on Jan 30.
Mrs Zhang, a housewife and a naturalised Singaporean who has lived in Singapore for over two decades, did not show any symptoms when she boarded the flight from Wuhan. But she was found to have a fever during a medical screening when she landed in Singapore on the same day and was then sent to the National Centre for Infectious Diseases (NCID) by ambulance.
In a transcript of her experience shared by the MOH, Mrs Zhang said that her condition deteriorated suddenly. She recounted: “I was very scared. They stuck the oxygen tube into my nose, and turned up the level so that I could breathe. But because my lungs were not functioning well, it did not work.
“I remember vividly the day I had extreme difficulty in breathing, and felt that I was dying. I thought: ‘Am I dying?’,” she added.
