Angela Symonds has had a “nightmare few weeks”. Her teenage son contracted Covid-19 at the end of September before she tested positive for the virus herself a couple of weeks later.
She and her family had to self-isolate for 21 days. At first Symonds was working long hours from home while also caring for her son, who rang her from his room one night at 1am complaining that he couldn’t breathe. Then she got the virus and had severe panic attacks and acute anxiety.
