Already fully recovered, Camilo Rodríguez revealed this Friday that he was the first Chilean footballer to get infected with covid-19. The Everton side of Viña del Mar explained how he faced the recovery process and disclosed his reasons for telling his experience after choosing, in the first instance, not to disclose the news.
“I was not very clear what was coming. I did the corresponding quarantine, which meant a regime for an infected person. I was able to get ahead and recover,” he told a press conference on Facebook Live.
“When I was diagnosed with covid, I had a 40-degree fever, headache, and body pain. I had these symptoms the first three days and then they went down. I had nothing more than that,” he continued.
The player trained at Colo Colo explained that “I tried to carry it in the best way. I tried to lean on my family, not to divulge it, to make it personal because at that time it was something more internal. I wanted to have a good time, not to have so much pressure on me. “
But once recovered, Rodríguez chose to publicize his experience with the covid-19. “I wanted to give my testimony so that people see and know that, despite having the virus, you can get ahead. With the corresponding measures, quarantining, one recovers and does not infect the others. “
That yes, the ex selected Sub 20 pointed out that “tI was lucky to be well protected with my family. But there are others who do not have that possibility and are having a hard time. “
