Lex Immers recently had to deal with the corona virus very closely. The attacking midfielder of NAC Breda recently became infected and passed the virus on to his wife, who became very ill in a short time. After all, Monday looks into conversation with BN DeStem back to a very violent period in the private field.

“My wife got short of breath a week and a half ago and could no longer breathe”, Immers clearly shows the seriousness of the situation in the conversation with the regional newspaper. “She was in hospital for 24 hours. She is still recovering. After a week she went outside for the first time. She took her first steps and walked fifty meters. Then she wanted to go back home. She said,” I can’t more, I’m out of breath. So that’s after a week. “

After all, had significantly fewer complaints. The ex-player of Feyenoord and Cardiff City, among others, has only lost a little weight. “I got off well. Only headaches now and then, but I have that more often”, the summer acquisition of NAC continues. “No extreme fatigue, no coughing and I have not been lying flat on the bed. However, I have been continuously tested positive.” After all, according to him, the corona tests ‘occasionally go completely crazy’, in which a cotton swab is inserted into the nose and throat. “I have the feeling that I am just scared. Maybe I will get a result that I am positive again.”

“I transferred corona to my wife. She almost died as a result,” said the shocked Immers. “She had to rush to the hospital. That is quite underestimated. At first I thought: Whatever. Now I have experienced it myself in my environment. “To give an example:” I see that my teammates who have just started training again, are immediately out of breath. The virus is draining your body, it’s just dangerous. I don’t wish it on anyone. In the end we are all going to have to deal with it, that’s for sure. “
