A activista ambiental sueca Greta Thunberg, impulsora do movemento 'FridaysForFuture', revelou este martes que estivo illada as dúas últimas semanas por precaución debido ás sospeitas de contraer o coronavirus (COVID-19).

"Cando volvín da miña viaxe por Europa Central, illeime nun apartamento prestado, lonxe da miña irmá e da miña nai, xa que o número de casos de COVID-19 (en Alemaña, por exemplo) eran similares aos de Italia ao principio", escribiu na súa conta na rede social Instagram.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

The last two weeks I’ve stayed inside. When I returned from my trip around Central Europe I isolated myself (in a borrowed apartment away from my mother and sister) since the number of cases of COVID-19 (in Germany for instance) were similar to Italy in the beginning. Around ten days ago I started feeling some symptoms, exactly the same time as my father - who traveled with me from Brussels. I was feeling tired, had shivers, a sore throat and coughed. My dad experienced the same symptoms, but much more intense and with a fever. In Sweden you can not test yourself for COVID-19 unless you’re in need of emergent medical treatment. Everyone feeling ill are told to stay at home and isolate themselves. I have therefore not been tested for COVID-19, but it’s extremely likely that I’ve had it, given the combined symptoms and circumstances. Now I’ve basically recovered, but - AND THIS IS THE BOTTOM LINE: I almost didn’t feel ill. My last cold was much worse than this! Had it not been for someone else having the virus simultainously I might not even have suspected anything. Then I would just have thought I was feeling unusually tired with a bit of a cough. And this it what makes it so much more dangerous. Many (especially young people) might not notice any symptoms at all, or very mild symptoms. Then they don’t know they have the virus and can pass it on to people in risk groups. We who don’t belong to a risk group have an enormous responsibility, our actions can be the difference between life and death for many others. Please keep that in mind, follow the advice from experts and your local authorities and #StayAtHome to slow the spread of the virus. And remember to always take care of each other and help those in need. #COVID #flattenthecurve

Thunberg empezou a sentir algúns síntomas leves fai uns dez días, do mesmo xeito que o seu pai (con quen viaxou desde Bruxelas), como cansazo, calafríos e tose, aínda que no caso do seu proxenitor foron máis intensos e estiveron acompañados de febre.

En Suecia só realízanse probas de COVID-19 a persoas en estado grave, aínda que as autoridades recomendan á xente que ten síntomas que permaneza illada nas súas casas.

"Quen non pertencemos a un deses grupos temos unha responsabilidade enorme, as nosas accións poden ser a diferenza entre a vida e a morte para moitos outros"

"Por iso non me puiden realizar o test, pero é moi probable que tivera o coronavirus, dada a combinación de síntomas e circunstancias", explicou a moza.

Thunberg asegurou que está recuperada e que o último catarro que tivera foi "moito peor", o que ao seu parecer revela que este virus é "moito máis perigoso", xa que moitos, sobre todo novos, poden non darse conta ao ter síntomas moi leves e contaxiar así a persoas de grupos de risco.

"Quen non pertencemos a un deses grupos temos unha responsabilidade enorme, as nosas accións poden ser a diferenza entre a vida e a morte para moitos outros", afirmou.
