Medan, Indonesia – Satria Krisnaditya Permana was busy preparing for the birth of his first child when COVID-19 hit his family.
Satria and his 24-year-old wife Sari Azalea Yuliani, who was 37 weeks pregnant and expecting a baby girl, tested positive for COVID-19 two weeks ago, shortly after Sari’s father was confirmed with the virus.
At first, all seemed well.
The couple, who regularly spent time with Sari’s father, elected to isolate at home in Bekasi, a satellite town on the outskirts of Jakarta, where they had everything they needed to hand.
But two days later, Sari developed a high fever.
