SINGAPORE: It was a long wait that spanned more than 50 days - 48 at D'Resort and three at the National Centre for Infectious Diseases - but when she was told of her discharge on Friday (May 15), COVID-19 patient Pamela (not her real name) was more confused than relieved.
Because, as far as she knew, she was still positive for the virus.
Speaking to CNA from her home, Pamela said she received a call early Friday morning from staff at community care facility D’Resort, who informed her that she could be discharged.
“I asked them: 'Are you sure? Because I did my first swab only yesterday and I should be (getting) my results today. If it were negative, I should be getting my second swab today',” she told CNA. “They said MOH (Ministry of Health) told them that I could be discharged so I was a bit confused. They told me to pack up and get ready to be discharged from 9.30am onwards.”
To clarify, Pamela called the MOH hotline. She was told that she would be discharged and that there would be a call from the duty nurse at D’Resort to explain the situation. During the call from the nurse, Pamela was told that she was still COVID-19 positive, but was eligible for discharge.
"I told her I didn't know my result. She said she had my result and that it was positive," Pamela recalled. "I told her I was happy to stay longer. I'd stayed so long and it didn't matter already. It was the right thing to do."
