A Duduza resident, in the East Rand of Gauteng, Lunga Maseko recently tested positive for the coronavirus and he shares his story, after receiving his test results.
“What went through my mind is that I’m in trouble. I was anxious and I was sweating. But I had to calm myself down because I know a lot about the virus, because there have been discussions about it in the news. And now, I had to think back, to whom was I in contact with, to inform them as quickly as possible,” says Lunga, explaining how he felt after receiving his test results.
Below is an interview with Lunga Maseko:
