Bianca, a 29-year-old ICU Sister at a private Gauteng hospital, is used to caring for severely ill patients. She’s used to the stress of working 12-hour shifts, often in a life-or-death environment. She took great care not to fall ill herself, but earlier this year, it was her turn to be the patient. Despite her young age and healthy, active lifestyle, Bianca’s Covid experience was life-threatening.
