When doctors first told me the I was sick, I still thought that it was just normal pneumonia.

She was subsequently transferred to Tan Tock Seng Hospital and admitted to the National Centre for Infectious Diseases on 23 January for further assessment, given her clinical symptoms and travel history from Wuhan. Thanked medical staff repeatedlyIn her interview, Jiang repeatedly thanked the medical staff who tended to her during her illness.
