Like all good stories, this one has something to do with time: Two hours to be exact.
On March 19, Mrs Natasha Ling and her husband Pele boarded a night flight from London to Singapore, just two hours before she entered her 36th week of pregnancy when she would have been barred from flying.
“If we had missed that flight, we would now be stuck in London, and I’m not sure what would have happened,” says the 29-year-old Singaporean speech and language therapist.
As it turns out, a lot happened to her and her British church worker husband here. Barely three days after their arrival, both were diagnosed with Covid-19.
A month of fears, anxiety and uncertainty followed before their son Boaz arrived on April 26, quite possibly the first baby born in Singapore to parents who had Covid-19.
“The infectious disease doctors told us he’s a super baby, a super Singaporean baby,” says Mr Ling, 28.
