Marija stresses that, just like everyone around her, she had mild symptoms, and it all started 3 weeks ago, more precisely on a Friday night when she got a fever. She then described to us what her experience was like.

Day 1

I also woke up on Saturday with a fever that went up to 38.3 degrees at most. I took paracetamol and I felt well. It didn't affect me that much and then it fell quickly, and then went up again to 38 degrees.

Day 2

On Sunday, I woke up feeling quite normal, thinking that it had passed, but develop a really low fever that stayed around 37.4 degrees all the time. I felt really bad that day. I was terribly weak. Since it was such a low temperature I didn’t take paracetamol. I knew it was coronavirus since my husband was already infected with the same symptoms. I didn't even go to get tested right away. The temperature was like that all day and there was more and more weakness.

Day 3

On Monday, the fever stopped, I felt better on that front, but I was still feeling weak. What was new was a very strange feeling in the nose. It felt like it was clogged, but it wasn't - there was no secretion.

Day 4

The next day, my sense of smell began to weaken, to disappear completely in the evening, and immediately after that, my sense of taste disappeared. The next day I went to get tested. By then, I already felt completely normal, except that I didn't have a sense of smell and taste. Also, at some point in the afternoon, I felt abnormally weak, so much so that I couldn’t sit at and work at the computer. Everything hurt and I just had to lie down and close my eyes for a while.

Marija tells us that in the following days, the weakness disappeared, while she never developed a cough. Her husband, on the other hand, would cough slightly at times. That was the only difference in their symptoms.

Day 8

Four days of the loss of the senses of smell and taste they began to gradually return and by then a positive results had already come. But I already felt much better. Of course, I was in isolation until the negative results arrived later - Marija concluded her conversation with Telegraf.
