What has been the most memorable experience working on the frontlines, at the COVID-19 quarantine zones?

Doctor's Answer

I think basically as everybody has highlighted, is the fact that we are doing it as a team, as a group, you know what I mean? Not just as single individuals. Personally, most memorable for me would be the heat. Damn bloody hot. Once you wear your full PPE, the white stuff, the yellow stuff, the goggles, the face shields, everything, it’s like a sauna. So the first time when we were given an area where we can take off our PPE after we finished swabbing, it’s like wow. Sweat was just dripping all over, so that was memorable. There was this nice puddle underneath me after that.

The full PPE suit is light in weight, but hot. And with your head covered, your face covered, then it’s fogging, so yeah it’s hot.
