Today we pay tribute to all our health care workers on the front line as the world battles to come to grips with this horrid Covid-19 virus.

As someone on the front line, how is your family treating you?What do you think about Covid-19?

In Veeplaas, which is where I stay, people are not listening to the regulations. We’re being extra cautious because Covid-19 symptoms are similar to TB or asthma.I studied medicine because I really wanted to make a difference in someone’s life. I know it is very cliché but I wanted to help people.This virus is a stressful time for being a human being. It is causing panic and fear and you have to understand the panic because people just want their families to be safe.

My family are worried sick about me but they understand what my job entails. The difficult part is that because I am on the front line, there is the possibility of contracting the virus and bringing it to my family, who are sitting at home, heeding the regulations.
