A frontline general practitioner who works in Region Eight recently beat COVID-19 and has officially returned to work after weeks of being in isolation.
Dr Narash Torres is attached to the Lethem Regional Hospital and is part of the hospital’s COVID-19 task force which he had volunteered for since the beginning of the COVID-19 outbreak in March, tested positive for the novel coronavirus in early August.
The doctor took to social media on Monday and announced that he was officially out of isolation and was back to work on the frontlines. “For me it was the most challenging experience I’ve had to face yet” he said in the post. Further he noted that the most difficult part of isolation was handling mental health struggles. He went on to thank his family and friends along with doctors, nurses and psychologist who played an important role in his recovery.
