Michael Leinauer from Geretsried survived the corona infection including quarantine. He has completely recovered and is allowed to go out the door again.

Geretsried - He has survived: the corona infection including a two-week quarantine. Michael Leinauer from Geretsried has completely recovered and is allowed to come out again. The 25-year-old missed one thing in particular at home: moving outdoors. He is still very grateful for a few little things.

Chills, body aches, malaise: that's how the infection started at Leinauer. "I had cheated myself with small cold symptoms a week or two before," the trained carpenter looks back. But he wasn't curing himself properly. Then he got the receipt for it. "It really caught me." In the end it turned out that the 25-year-old had been infected with Covid-19. Where Leinauer picked up the virus cannot be traced. "Maybe at school," puzzles the Geretsrieder, who makes his master and his technician in Munich. "Perhaps also in the S-Bahn, or at a sports competition in Karlsruhe."

No serious complaints

Probably thanks to his young age and constitution, Leinauer had no serious complaints. "I lay flat for a week, the second was much better for me," he says. He slept a lot and recovered. And he had time to deal with unpleasant household chores: cleaning the fridge properly and cleaning the oven. "Only I didn't make the tax return."

He was troubled by the spatial confinement of his small apartment, which he shares with his girlfriend. As his partner, she was also tested for the corona virus and had to stay at home. Persevering on 40 square meters for two weeks can be a test of a relationship. "Thank God we have a balcony," says Leinauer with a smile. "Otherwise you can hardly stand it." On the balcony he held his face in the warming sun rays and dreamed of moving and doing sports. A chat with the neighbors also provided variety.

Finally out again

After the tests at the doctor confirmed that Leinauer had survived the infection, it finally went out again. The carpenter: "I really had energy." He was a very sociable person with a large circle of friends. "I was so happy to finally be able to be with people again." The first thing he did was take a bike tour to Wolfratshausen - in quarantine he had time to finally repair the bike. "I drove along the Isar Cycle Path and enjoyed the spring day."

Despite the quarantine, Leinauer did not have to do without all social contacts. "There's the phone." His friends didn't let him down and looked after him. “Someone brought bread and oranges, someone else an ice cream. That was cool. "The best thing for him:" One morning I heard something rustling outside the door. When I checked it, there were croissants and chocolate. ”Sometimes it's the little things in life that make you happy the most.
