'Now I know the horror they are living': Head nurse at Brooklyn hospital tells how she went from treating COVID-19 patients to becoming one herself and was successfully treated with plasma infusions


The chief nursing officer at Mount Sinai Brooklyn has revealed how she went from treating COVID-19 patients to becoming one of them herself - spending seven days in hospital after developing bilateral viral pneumonia in both of her lungs.

Claudia Garcenot spoke about her harrowing ordeal with New York magazine Friday, stating: 'Before my hospitalization, I thought to myself: 'This has to be the worst thing in the world'. But what I thought it was, was nothing compared to the reality of it'.

Garcenot, who is aged in her 60s, tested positive for the coronavirus late last month after feeling a tightness in her chest.

She told New York magazine that she spent a week isolated at home, before she eventually decided to head to the emergency department at Mount Sinai Brooklyn.

A chest X-ray revealed that Garcenot had developed bilateral viral pneumonia in both of her lungs - but she was still not admitted to the facility.
