Noting how quickly her elderly mother developed severe symptoms of COVID-19 before dying, Moblissa resident Coleen Williams is hoping that authorities move swiftly to isolate her father, who has also tested positive and has pre-existing conditions, so that he can be properly monitored.
Williams yesterday told Sunday Stabroek that her 79-year-old father’s condition is worsening and her family is hoping that he will be hospitalised as it seems that he is developing severe symptoms of the virus. Her mother, 74-year-old Estella Williams, succumbed last Thursday.
“My sister called me this morning and she told me that daddy cough getting worse. So I told the nurse this morning and up to now I don’t know if they will bring him here,” the woman said from the Linden Hospital Complex, where she is currently being isolated after testing positive for COVID-19 and exhibiting symptoms.
