absence

First and foremost, I wish to apologize for my absence
. Furthermore
, I am very sorry that I failed to submit the evidence for my absence
in a timely manner.
I have been hit hard by COVID in the past week, suffering from a high fever and feeling acute muscle pain. My symptoms got so bad last
Thursday that I had to go to a doctor. Per the doctor's suggestions, I was hospitalized for three days, during which I had limited access to my laptop and student email. Therefore
, I was not able to inform you about my situation. Nor was I able to email you materials related to my absence
.
Attached please find the positive COVID test results I had on the exam
day. The results were from both at-home tests and PCR tests at my neighbourhood clinic. I have also
attached my hospitalization records signed by Dr Kohn from the Stanford Medical Center.
As for potential resolutions, I am wondering if it is possible for me to retake the exam
on another day?

- A closing (Yours sincerely, Yours faithfully, Best wishes, Kind regards, Love)
