After being hospitalised in New York for over two weeks with COVID-19, attorney Jerome Khan is warning persons to take the virus seriously.
Khan had posted on his social media in January that he was hospitalised after testing positive for COVID-19 and stated that his post was intended to let people know how damaging the virus could be and to ensure that they take the necessary safety precautions.
In an interview with Stabroek News last week, Khan stated that he made his way to New York to have an issue with one of his eyes checked out. He arrived there on January 9th with hopes of having his appointment the following Monday. At that time he stated that he was feeling just fine and did not have any symptoms. However upon arrival for his doctor’s appointment, after having his temperature checked it was revealed that he had a high fever although at the time he said he felt nothing.
