When 27-year-old Benjamin Lee (not his real name) discovered that he was Covid positive, millions of thoughts raced through his head – ranging from valid concerns to positively irrational anxieties.

“When I got my test results from a routine office screening (staff in my office are required to go for screening periodically), I was horrified to discover that I was Covid-positive!” says Lee who works in the retail industry.
