Monica Dogra is an American musician and actress of Indian origin. She made her acting debut with a guest appearance in the movie “Rock on.”
She is currently in the US with her family. The country has the most number of COVID-19 cases in the world!
Her mother was unfortunately one of those US citizens that contracted corona virus but also one of the lucky ones to survive through it.
Monica shared a video on her IGTV talking about her mother’s survival story and how we should not take it lightly!
Monica’s mother said, “First thing I would say, please don’t take it lightly, always be watchful for the symptoms. This thing could be life-threatening”. She contracted the virus in late February but the doctors said it’s A-type flue. After five days, Monica’s mom felt better and later, around May 21, she had 103 fever and started feeling lousy, very high fever, and had no energy. She could not breathe and was taken to the hospital. She tested positive for the coronavirus. She was then put in a quarantine room.
In the end, Monica said her mother felt like she went to death’s door and returned.
Monica Dogra captioned the video as: “My mom’s COVID-19 survival story. We should add that at the end, she was taken off oxygen, her fever came down, and she was sent home from the hospital after ten days. She says it took about a month to get her strength back. She couldn’t walk, go up the steps at her house, take a shower, make food on her own once she went home. She had physical therapists coming home and nurses home for 3 weeks. So depending on a person’s access and privileges, recovery from Corona can be dicey. So stay home if you can! And remember that this is super real…. love to you all….”
