She forbade Jui to go near him. At first,Jui's father had no symptoms. But he felt feverish and a little pain in his throat after two days. So his mother spoke to their family physician who prescribed paracetamol for the fever and throat ache. The physician advised him to drink plenty of fluid and eat nutritious food. He also asked to drink lemon ginger tea to boost up his immunity. They did everything accordingly. Then, her father started coughing. Again He also lost his sense of smell. Her father panicked, but her mother calmed him and contacted the family physician. She also called the hotline number of IEDCR for help.
