REGINA --
A Regina mother is using her son’s battle with a COVID-19 variant to urge the public to take provincial guidelines seriously.
It’s every mother’s worst nightmare, not being able to help their child when they’re sick. That’s the reality for Dianne Desjarlais-Cardinal whose 34-year-old son Matthew Cardinal is in the hospital with COVID-19.
“My son’s going through it right now, he’s in the fight for his life,” Desjarlais-Cardinal said.
Desjarlais-Cardinal describes her son as a healthy, vivacious man, but his health deteriorated after contracting the B.1.1.7 variant that is exploding in Regina.
