Amid
the
novel
Coronavirus
pandemic,
Hrithik
Roshan
is
one
of
the
Bollywood
stars
who
is
doing
his
bit
to
spread
awareness
about
this
highly
contagious
virus.
The
superstar
has
been
urging
his
fans
to
stay
home
and
practice
social-distancing
through
his
videos
on
social
media.
Recently,
the
War
actor
shared
a
Coronavirus
patient's
first
person
account
of
the
treatment
being
given
at
Mumbai's
Kasturba
hospital.
Stressing
on
the
need
to
bust
myths
and
rumours
around
this
topic,
Hrithik
tweeted,
"COVID-19
patient
Hrishi
Giridhar
shares
a
first
person
account
of
his
health
post
contracting
Coronavirus
&
welfare
provided
by
Mumbai's
Kasturba
Hospital.
It
is
imperative
to
bust
myths
&
stay
away
from
rumors.
Godspeed
Hrishi.
My
prayers
&
pride
with
the
health
care
community."

Hrishi's
post
read,
"I
have
contracted
COVID-19.
The
following
is
my
experience
so
far.
My
main
aim
of
writing
this
post
is
to
talk
about
the
amazing
care
I
have
received
so
far
from
Kasturba
Hospital,
Mumbai.
I
also
want
to
spread
awareness
about
my
symptoms.
SYMPTOMS:
I
am
a
student
who
was
studying
in
London,
and
I
had
decided
to
fly
back
home
due
to
the
coronavirus
outbreak.
When
I
landed
in
Mumbai,
and
I
had
no
symptoms
whatsoever
for
the
first
two
days.
It
was
on
day
3
that
I
began
to
feel
very
fatigued.
Lots
of
sleeping
and
lethargy,
and
a
mild
fever
(99°F).
Next
day,
my
fever
increased
to
100,
and
then
up
to
a
max
of
101.6.
I
personally
had
NO
respiratory
symptoms.
No
sore
or
irritable
throat,
no
coughing,
no
sneezing,
nothing.
There
was
vomiting
one
night,
and
otherwise
generally
persistent
fever
and
fatigue.
I
also
had
severe
dizziness,
and
on
one
day,
I
fainted
while
walking
around
at
home.
I
fell
on
my
face
and
broke
a
few
teeth,
and
sustained
some
injuries
to
my
chin
and
jaw.
This
seemed
to
be
a
signal
that
something
was
wrong,
and
despite
physical
injuries,
the
priority
was
to
get
tested
for
COVID-19.
KASTURBA
HOSPITAL:
I
went
to
Kasturba
hospital
the
same
night
that
I
fainted.
The
test
is
a
simple
throat
swab,
and
it
took
approximately
24
hours
to
get
the
results.
The
nurses
and
doctors
on
hand
are
friendly
and
helpful.
Breakfast,
lunch
and
dinner
is
served,
which
is
usually
roti,
rice,
two
dahis
and
a
sabji,
and
food
and
warm
water
is
available
24x7.
Nurses
hand
out
some
tablets
(such
as
multivitamins)
to
all
patients,
and
they
monitor
if
anyone
has
a
fever
or
is
feeling
unwell
in
any
way.
They
also
go
around
giving
people
cough
syrup,
in
case
anyone
requires
it.
After
24
hours
of
wait,
I
was
told
that
I
tested
positive
and
needed
to
be
transferred
to
another
ward.
In
the
morning,
we
were
given
breakfast,
and
nurses
and
doctors
were
in
to
do
all
sorts
of
tests.
(BP,
blood
test,
X
ray
etc).
I
must
say
I
feel
like
I
am
in
very
good
hands.
The
rooms
and
wards
are
CLEAN,
the
bathrooms
are
clean
and
there
are
multiple
sanitiser
bottles
kept
in
every
single
room.
Every
day,
there
is
someone
who
cleans
the
floor
and
changes
the
bedsheets.
The
doctors
and
nurses
seem
to
know
every
patient
and
all
their
symptoms.
I
can
only
implore
that
everyone
trusts
that
the
doctors
know
what
they
are
doing
and
are
doing
it
to
the
best
of
their
capacity.
I
have
immense
gratitude
to
everyone
in
the
hospital
who
is
taking
care
of
me.
Today,
a
doctor
took
rounds
to
every
room
and
talked
to
every
patient,
just
to
make
sure
people's
mental
health
was
okay.
He
asked
how
we
were
doing,
if
there
was
anything
bothering
us,
and
told
us
to
stay
positive
and
strong.
This
was
one
of
the
nicest
and
most
reassuring
things
to
happen
to
me
since
I
came
to
the
hospital.
I
am
extremely
grateful
to
all
the
doctors,
nurses
and
cleaners
who
are
helping
me
right
now
and
making
sure
I
am
comfortable.
I
think
it
is
easy
to
criticise
the
government
and
government
facilities
but
when
you
are
actually
here,
you
can
see
that
everyone
on
the
ground
is
doing
the
best
they
can
with
the
resources
that
are
available.
I
urge
you
all
to
follow
the
state's
orders
to
stay
indoors
and
stay
isolated,
and
to
not
unnecessarily
take
actions
that
may
put
more
pressure
on
the
healthcare
system.
This
is
DAY
12
for
me
at
Kasturba
hospital,
but
time
has
passed
quickly
and
I
have
seen
many
patients
recover
and
get
discharged.
The
govt
has
also
been
persistently
following
up
with
everyone
I
was
in
contact
with.
Thankfully,
my
family
and
all
other
persons
in
contact
with
me
tested
negative
and
are
safe.
I
hope
you
all
stay
indoors
and
safe
as
well.
Take
care."
