How Malaysians in New York are coping with the Covid-19 crisis

Because of the pandemic, all modelling work is on hold and Tan is keeping herself busy at home.

Covid-19 has rendered working from home the new normal for me. My daughter who is four years old has had her preschool cancelled. So we have been working and taking care of the kids at the same time. I work at a health insurance company and some work has been affected as my job is related to encouraging people to go for check-ups, but since they shouldn’t go outside, we’re trying to figure out how to adapt to this situation.The hardest thing is having to postpone an upcoming trip back to Malaysia – I had planned to visit my family in May for Hari Raya and it would’ve been the first time I went back since September 2019 when I lost my dad .

We just have to pray that this will all be over soon.

During the day I work in my backyard garden, cook in the evening and at night I watch The Metropolitan Opera online. Luckily my neighbourhood is next to many beautiful parks, like the Rockefeller State Park Preserve where I can walk when the weather is nice.
