Although Jerri Jorgensen was treated and monitored by the doctors onboard the Diamond Princess, she never had to take any medications.

Mark Jorgensen said that one night, Jerri felt a slight fever which eventually faded away: “By the next morning that was gone.”

“We really didn’t see symptoms until we were tested," he said. "We were tested because they considered me high risk because I’m a kidney transplant patient and, so, during the quarantine, they came to our room and tested us.”
