So, all these while you just listen to stories about how Covid-19 affect other peoples' lives. Until one day it comes and knocks on your door.

My dad, at 70 operates a GP in the other side of the country. Still going strong despite the age. Being a doctor is not just his profession, it is his passion.
Told us all that he will open his clinic until he no longer has the strength to do so.

Before the MCO, he was visited by a Tabligh fella. During history taking, the fella revealed that he missed the gathering due to some prior commitments, much to my father's relief.

When the MCO was declared, my dad chose to close his clinic as well, also due to him being in the high-risk category.

However, today, he just received the news from KKM that the patient was indeed positive. This was due to him keeping in the close company other Tabligh fellas who attended the Ijtima'.
Both dad and mum were unwell during the first few days of MCO, but they are OK now, not showing any symptoms. However, KKM insists on him to get screened tomorrow.

So here I am, away in KL, unable to do anything but to pray and offer moral support from far through phone calls.

Sigh, it sucks, this helplessness.

Latest update: test came back negative! Thanks for the support /k. I can breath easy now. So do my parents. They are still strictly observing quarantine and MCO with support from neighbours and friends who left food items at the gate for them.

Parents in a place where the internet is just horrendous, both broadband and phone coverage

I can give you nothing but prayers and well wishes man.
At least she got age and good wellbeing on her side. I believe she will come out of this stronger than ever. God Bless.

Thank you /k for all your well wishes. I will keep this thread updated when the result comes in. Based on our last conversations today, he sounded in high spirit and didn't seem unwell at all. Gotta go tomorrow with positive energy!

Testing went without hitch today especially when the doctors serving in the KK knew my dad personally as he has been operating his GP for 33 years now. I guess I can say that he received a preferential or courtesy treatment due to him being a doctor and got it done very quickly. And now the waiting begins....

I just got news today that the result has come back negative. So relieved. Words can't describe the feels. Thanks for the support /k

I have no idea. But the quarantine still goes on. It has been 23 days already since contact was made.
