‘We have to be careful’: U of L professor recovers from COVID-19

University of Lethbridge Psychology professor Jennifer Mather is recovering from COVID-19. 

The researcher was on a conference trip to Denmark at the beginning of March. Now, she is sharing her experience with what she initially thought was just a bad cold.

“All I could do was come home when I planned to come home, which was March 14,” Mather said. “But in the process of coming home, I got to spend five hours in the Frankfurt airport and over eight hours on a completely full Air Canada flight to Calgary.”

Mather says she had typical cold symptoms, but even when those subsided, she was left with minor breathing difficulties. 

She called 811 to get tested for COVID-19, just to be sure, though she didn’t think her symptoms were serious.

“But then, on Monday morning at 7:30, somebody phoned and said, ‘You’ve got COVID-19,’ and they said, ‘Go on into emergency and we’ll check you out,’” Mather said.
