The mayor caught a cold last weekend and developed a fever. He then went into home quarantine. On Monday a first test was taken, of which the result was negative. As the symptoms worsened during the week, a second test followed, which confirmed the contamination with the coronavirus.
‘After I was tested for the first time, I developed pneumonia and a very high fever. I didn’t expect a fit fifty-something could be hit so quickly and so hard by it. Can’t remember ever feeling so sick ”, says Van Veldhuizen. ‘I now speak from my own experience; don’t underestimate the virus! Make sure you are quick, do not wait, but let yourself be tested. Listen to your body and install the CoronaMelder app if you haven’t already. ‘
