JESSICA LEE / WINNIPEG FREE PRESS January 23, 2022: I wake up with a slight sore throat. I don’t think it’s COVID-19 but I go get tested anyway. Just in case, because part of my job requires me to photograph and meet people each week. When I get home, I call my partner, who lives in Switzerland. Though it’s difficult to have a long-distance relationship, and even more so during a pandemic, we’ve been doing this for three years now. He reassures me and jokes with me which makes me less anxious about my results.
