The 17-year-old is now donating his plasma to help others recover from the virus.
MENDOTA HEIGHTS, MN — Ethan Hiew and his father were among the first confirmed cases of coronavirus in Minnesota. His school, St. Thomas Academy, was among the first in the state to move to online classes after the positive tests.
Both Ethan and his father have since recovered. The 17-year-old has now decided to donate his plasma to help others fighting the disease.
"One of the core values at St. Thomas Academy is service and same for my church; we do service, so I just thought I was put in the position for a reason," Ethan told KSTP.
