Together with her husband and four other friends, Trude Ravndal, 56, from Sandnes in Norway, traveled to the ski resort Cervinia in northern Italy almost two weeks ago.
For a week, the company would ski in the Italian Alps, but in the middle of the week, Trude Ravndal felt that she was getting a little sore in her chest.
- It wasn't that dangerous so I continued to ski. I went to bed early, but I always do that on a skiing holiday, ”says Trude Ravndal to Dagbladet.
Trude thinks that while she felt pain in her chest, she also got a little dizzy. But the 56-year-old is in good physical shape and is rarely ill. Therefore, she waited to call her GP until she came home from the trip.
Instead, she sent a text message to her GP, telling her that she felt healthy but a little coughy and asked for advice on how she would act.
The GP then told her to test for corona as soon as she got home.
Has no fever or cough
When Trude Ravndal came home from Italy last Saturday, she kept her home over the weekend. On Tuesday, she was given time to test herself for corona.
The others who were on a ski holiday with Trude also tested for the corona virus, but all were tested negative - except for Trude.
- I was very surprised and I think that everyone around me also became. Especially since the others I traveled with had been tested negative.
The same evening, the Smittvernlegen phoned and went through what would happen next. Trude Ravndal will now be quarantined in his home for two weeks.
For Dagbladet, Trude Ravndal talks about his symptoms. She does not have pain in the body, is not stuffy or runny in the nose. Neither does she sneeze or have a headache.
When Expressen talks to Trude Ravndal on Saturday, she feels that it feels like a light cold and that she still feels a little in her chest.
- I had not gone out and jogged, but I have worked 100 percent from home all week and will do it next week as well.
- I feel that I am not completely healthy but with a regular flu you can get hurt in the body and skin and so on, but I do not have that. I work almost as normal.
