A single father of one, who tested positive for COVID-19 two days after developing symptoms, has said he only recognised the seriousness of the disease only after contracting it.

Randy Shepherd, 41, of Industry, East Coast Demerara (ECD), in an interview with Sunday Stabroek, said that he began to experience flu-like symptoms on January 6th.

He said he didn’t take it seriously since he thought it was just a ‘common cold’.
