There are different ways of spending time in hospital when you are sick, but athletes show that you can stay in shape.
Tsang Yee-ting, the second karate athlete to suffer from Covid-19, is keeping her fitness up despite undergoing treatment in hospital.
The two-time Asian Games representative put up footage on Facebook of what she is practising when she is not in bed. Tsang said she is performing exercises for 1.5 hours a day to keep her muscle strength.
She has now been in hospital for 13 days and said she is making progress in what she is able to do in her exercise, such as single-leg squats.
She also asked her friends to write the Chinese character for “negative” several hundred times to wish her luck in removing the virus from her body as soon as possible.
