When she returned to Singapore at 2pm on March 21, Miss Sejal Bagaria felt a dry cough developing.
She and a friend, who also felt unwell, wanted to get screened at Changi Airport.
“We had symptoms and we wanted to get tested. It was the socially responsible thing to do,” the Nanyang Technological University (NTU) student told The New Paper in a telephone interview yesterday.
Miss Bagaria was one of the students recalled from exchange programmes overseas. She had been at the University of Sussex for her exchange programme since Jan 21.
At the airport, a doctor assessed her symptoms and said she has to be taken to the hospital for further tests.
She was not allowed to leave.
But it was not until midnight that she and her friend were taken by an ambulance to the National Centre of Infectious Diseases (NCID).
Miss Bagaria, a year two student at the Wee Kim Wee School of Communication and Information, said: “By night time, I felt even more sick. I had a dry cough and shortness of breath and I knew something was wrong.”
