A woman who contracted coronavirus says the virus made her go deaf in addition to losing her sense of taste and smell. Julia Buscaglia moved to Florence in January and said she had a wet cough and no pre-warned symptoms were present.
The 20-year-old posted on Twitter explaining how she returned home from hard hit Italy, where more than 6,000 people have died from coronavirus, at the beginning of March.
Julia said she was able to travel back into the United States, where not a single airport official asked where she had been.
After testing positive she said: “My jaw DROPPED. How was I positive? I didn’t have the symptoms on the news. “I flew home, and not a single person asked where I had been.
