La activista medioambiental Greta Thunberg reveló que decidió auto aislarse porque sintió síntomas similares a los del coronavirus.

Thunberg, de 17 años, lo anunció a través de su Instagram y contó que hace diez días comenzó a sentir "algunos síntomas" como cansancio, escalofríos, dolor de garganta y tos.

La activista siguió de inmediato las recomendaciones de las autoridades suecas, que pidieron a todos aquellos que registren síntomas de la enfermedad permanecer aislados.

Sin embargo, su diagnóstico no está confirmado ya que en Suecia no se realiza la prueba a quienes no requieran tratamiento médico urgente.

"Cuando volví de mi viaje por Europa Central, me aislé en un departamento prestado, lejos de mi hermana y de mi madre, ya que el número de casos de Covid-19 eran similares a los de Italia al principio", escribió en su Instagram la joven activista.

Su padre, que viajó con ella a Bruselas, también comenzó a mostrar síntomas, en su caso "mucho más intensos" y con fiebre.

The last two weeks Iu2019ve stayed inside. When I returned from my trip around Central Europe I isolated myself (in a borrowed apartment away from my mother and sister) since the number of cases of COVID-19 (in Germany for instance) were similar to Italy in the beginning. Around ten days ago I started feeling some symptoms, exactly the same time as my father - who traveled with me from Brussels. I was feeling tired, had shivers, a sore throat and coughed. My dad experienced the same symptoms, but much more intense and with a fever. In Sweden you can not test yourself for COVID-19 unless youu2019re in need of emergent medical treatment. Everyone feeling ill are told to stay at home and isolate themselves. I have therefore not been tested for COVID-19, but itu2019s extremely likely that Iu2019ve had it, given the combined symptoms and circumstances. Now Iu2019ve basically recovered, but - AND THIS IS THE BOTTOM LINE: I almost didnu2019t feel ill. My last cold was much worse than this! Had it not been for someone else having the virus simultainously I might not even have suspected anything. Then I would just have thought I was feeling unusually tired with a bit of a cough. And this it what makes it so much more dangerous. Many (especially young people) might not notice any symptoms at all, or very mild symptoms. Then they donu2019t know they have the virus and can pass it on to people in risk groups. We who donu2019t belong to a risk group have an enormous responsibility, our actions can be the difference between life and death for many others. Please keep that in mind, follow the advice from experts and your local authorities and #StayAtHome to slow the spread of the virus. And remember to always take care of each other and help those in need. #COVID #flattenthecurve

"No me he hecho la prueba del Covid-19, pero es muy probable que lo tenga, dados los síntomas y circunstancias", publicó la joven activista, que está ya "prácticamente recuperada".
