Adelaide Man, Antonio Trimboli, Discusses His Experience In ICU With COVID-19

25-year-old Antonio Trimboli might be Adelaide's most Quarantined man at this point. 

Antonio's family attended the Tenafeate Creek Winery where his mother, Mimma, contracted COVID-19, whereas the rest of the family at that stage did not. Regardless, the entire family was moved into the Pullman Hotel to quarantine for 14 days, and Mimma was put in Tom's Court. 

Antonio then tested positive for COVID-19 on Day 14, and despite being a healthy 25 year old, it hit him hard.

"I couldn't even get out of bed to go to the toilet because I'd lose my breath. I had a temperature of 39 plus."

"It didn't do what it did to me, to my mum." Mimma only came down with a cough and dehydration.

Antonio was relieved he got medical attention quickly upon testing positive; "I was lucky they got onto me straight away and got my oxygen sorted." 

Antonio discusses his experience in ICU with COVID-19:

On the bright side, at least the food was better for him than it was for his mum!
