@errikaaaaaaaa or Erika Syamim, her four and her mother were isolated a day later.

Transforming her Twitter account into a vehicle to share their journey,  @errikaaaaaaaa shared that her father had fever, cough and breathing difficulties while the rest just had a fever.

Maintaining much positivity, here is what she has to say to others going through the same ordeal, “If you are in the ward, don’t be lemau (sluggish). Be cheerful, insyaallah (God willing) we can fight the disease too.”

Let’s pray and hope that Erika and her family will be blessed with a speedy recovery.
