It's been over two weeks since Hannah B, who lives in Greenville County, got a call from her doctor, telling her she had tested positive for COVID-19.
She didn’t want her last name used, but she did want to share what it felt like for her to have the novel coronavirus.
“Within the first week there were three to four days that were absolutely miserable. I couldn’t get out of bed I couldn’t walk to the bathroom without being winded, my headache was so incredible that I couldn’t think correctly. And also I was sleeping constantly it’s like, even when I woke up it was still like I was sleepwalking,” she said.
The 24-year-old Clemson graduate is a medical scribe in Upstate, South Carolina.
She tells WYFF4's Renee Wunderlich she’s not sure when, how or where she caught COVID-19.
But after getting the positive test result, she reached out to WYFF4 because she wants the community - especially people her age - to take social distancing seriously.
“You don’t think you’ll get it but then you’re one of the 400,000 in America that do get it in this age group and people just don’t take that seriously,” she said, “I still have a lot of friends like hanging out with each other and stuff like that and going over to friends houses, and I’m like ‘Y’all it’s just not worth it’!”
