These all bells were constantly ringing back of our minds, ' corona victim family head told.

Yasir Nawaz told that he went to see the location for his drama. It was tough, hot Ramadan day and he was fasting too. After iftar, he felt fever and headache. He started self medication and temperature fell for sometime. I was feeling body ache. I lost my smelling and taste sense for 4-5 days when my colleague called me and told that he is corona positive and I should go for test too.
Here Nida interuppted and told that Yasir was not having bad throat, coughing and flu: the popular symtomps of corona that why we waited for 4 days to test. A total of 6 persons from Yasir's drama crew including Aleezah Shah, Nauman Sami, Naveed Raza came corona positive then.

If you feel like then its better to send audio message to a patient. Now I'm well that why I'm not feeling stressed to discuss what I felt and went through the corona diesease but it was tough while you're struggling with a diesease.
SListening to Surah Rehman was best spritual healing for me during covid-19.
