SINGAPORE – Every day foreign worker Wu Liyou would make a video call to Feidong county in Anhui province to chat with his family.
The 41-year-old China national had been doing it since April.
But last Thursday (June 4), his call did not come.
Instead, his family received a call from his Singapore employer, informing them that Mr Wu had died.
They were stunned, speechless with grief and in disbelief, as he did not tell them he had been infected by the coronavirus nor did they have any hint that he was ill.
Mr Wu, who had worked in Singapore for the past 10 years, became the youngest person in Singapore to succumb to Covid-19 last Thursday.
He died of complications two weeks after he was discharged, and was cremated on Tuesday. The coroner certified the cause of death as a massive pulmonary thromboembolism following the Covid-19 infection.
Mr Wu’s son Feixiang told The Straits Times over the phone from China that his father looked healthy in all their video conversations, and had never mentioned having any health problems.
