It was not fear of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) but life in isolation that worried Pradeep (name changed). But as days passed, the stress soon faded, thanks to hospital staff and before he realised it, he was back home after treatment.

“I was not afraid of COVID-19. But I kept thinking about staying in isolation. The hospital staff made the isolation period easy for me. They checked me regularly and ensured that I felt alright. They ensured that I got proper food and water on time, not to forget my cup of tea,” he said.
