Summary
Otter 59724 tested positive for COVID in March 2020 and from mid-2020 had repeated bouts of severe nausea and dry heaving, chills, breathlessness and legs that felt like jelly, at times unable to walk far. The gagging eased after an infected gallbladder was removed in late 2020, and by mid-February 2021 they felt much better. By April 2021 only mild occasional gagging remained.
