SINGAPORE - Two months after being discharged from the isolation ward at Khoo Teck Puat Hospital , the Certis officer who had contracted Covid-19 is back at work, albeit no longer on the front lines.

As a quarantine order agent, he was deployed to serve quarantine orders to individuals during the early days of the Covid-19 outbreak in Singapore. On Jan 31, he began experiencing swollen tonsils, although this did not cause him any worry since he has a history of recurring tonsillitis up to three times a year.The swelling led to a fever and when the fever did not subside after some days, Case 44 walked into KTPH on Feb 6 to get himself checked.On the morning of Feb 8, a swab test for Covid-19 was performed, which returned positive the next afternoon, and he was immediately transferred to a dedicated isolation ward.

He was finally discharged on Feb 18, and was ecstatic to be received by his family upon his homecoming.
