Two of the authors are final year medical students currently rotating at the Monkolé Mother and Infant Hospital Center, Democratic Republic of Congo. They recount their experience as interns before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. They detail the national and hospital response to COVID-19 and their effects on the general population and healthcare personnel. They go on to describe how they are coping while they are at home.
