Ruben de Jong (25) has recovered from lung covid and now hopes to be an example for others: ‘I was an invalid boy in a wheelchair’

Ruben de Jong (25) from Drachten was hit by corona a year ago. He was skeptical about lung covid at the time. Due to long-term complaints, the fit young man turned into an invalid boy with the condition of an 85-year-old. But he has recovered. De Jong hopes to be an example for fellow sufferers.
