Dara Schindelka, a singer/songwriter in La Ronge, has announced the release of a new song which was written during quarantine after she tested positive for the coronavirus last month.
“There’s a lot of worry, a lot of stress and what I do when I am stressed is I write music,” she said. “This Christmas we can either find the positive or we can find the negative and, especially this time of year when we can hold to something good, I think it makes everyone in a better frame of mind.”
Schindelka was quarantined in October after contracting the virus at her workplace. She’s an arts education teacher at Pre-Cam Community School and she said even though she took precautions like wearing a mask, teaching outside and social distancing, she still unfortunately tested positive.
“That meant I was quarantined and isolated at home away from my boys and away from everybody for two weeks,” Schindelka said. “I found that mentally quite taxing and worrisome because, first off, you’re worried with contact tracing that inadvertently giving the virus to someone else, and also just worried that maybe someone will be picking it up within those two weeks even if they tested negative.”
