JAKARTA - Indonesian doctor Tri Maharani felt that she could cope with any disaster because she has attended to patients injured in tsunamis to volcanic eruptions for the past 22 years."In the first days, I was very distressed. As a human being, I'm scared. I fear death," Dr Tri told The Straits Times.

She not only recovered from the disease soon after but went on to set up a Covid-19 survivor group to fight against the stigma patients like her and their families face. She also wrote a letter to Health Minister Terawan Agus Putranto, asking for test kits to help in contact tracing for her staff and family.
