University of Lethbridge Psychology professor Jennifer Mather is recovering from COVID-19. The researcher was on a conference trip to Denmark at the beginning of March.
Now, she is sharing her experience with what she initially thought was just a bad cold. “All I could do was come home when I planned to come home, which was March 14,” Mather said. “But in the process of coming home, I got to spend five hours in the Frankfurt airport and over eight hours on a completely full Air Canada flight to Calgary.” Mather says she had typical cold symptoms, but even when those subsided, she was left with minor breathing difficulties.
