Man loses wife and unborn child to Covid-19

SUNGAI PETANI: A man who just lost his pregnant wife and unborn child to Covid-19 today called on the public to comply with the standard operating procedures (SOP) to curb the spread of the virus.

“Please adhere to the SOP. I just lost my wife and unborn child to Covid-19.

“Think about your children, wife, and husband. Just stay at home,” said 35-year-old Mohd Fadli Abd Wahab.

Fadhli’s wife Umaisarah Azmi, 25, passed away at 1.25pm yesterday.

Umaisarah, who was seven months pregnant, died at the Sultan Abdul Halim Hospital (HSAH).

“Earlier, she complained of shortness of breath and severe headache.

“My wife had no illness or allergies since she became pregnant with our third child.

“However, around 4am yesterday she told me that she could not breathe and was feeling weak.

“I immediately rushed her to HSAH for treatment. She was placed in the hospital’s red zone.

“Not long after that, she died. The doctor confirmed that it was due to Covid-19,” he said when contacted.

Fadhli, from Kampung Pokok Asam, said his wife was eager to welcome the arrival of their child.

“I didn’t know that it was a sign that she would be gone forever,” he said.

Fadhli said he had always accompanied his wife at home as his workplace was closed due to the Movement Control Order (MCO 3.0).

“I was upset for not being by her side when she breathed her last. I only saw her body when the doctor called me in for confirmation,” he said.

Fadhli, his two children, and mother-in-law also had their Covid-19 screening tests today and were instructed by the Health Ministry to self-quarantine until July 26.

Meanwhile, Kedah Health Director Dr Othman Warijo when contacted confirmed the death of a pregnant mother at HSAH due to Covid-19 that her family members were ordered to undergo quarantine. Nst
