Reported by CNN today that fourteen-year-old Indiana Evans is a promising dancer from Hertfordshire, southern England, who was doing 16 hours of practice a week on top of school before the coronavirus pandemic hit.
Indiana fell ill with a cough in early March, said her mother, Jane Evans. Although she didn’t have any other coronavirus symptoms, her parents kept her home for two weeks in line with government guidance.
She was never ill enough to be hospitalized, her mother told CNN. Nonetheless, the teenager — who planned to audition for prestigious dance schools — can now barely manage a trip to the supermarket.
Like many others who fell ill in the early weeks of the pandemic in the UK, Indiana was never tested for the coronavirus. But her mother said doctors have diagnosed her with post-viral fatigue post-Covid.
She is one of a number of children who appear still to be suffering symptoms related to the coronavirus months after first falling ill, according to accounts from their parents.
