The parents were shocked because both of them felt fine, and they had no idea were Cassian could have contracted the virus. They are now in self-quarantine in their home.

After Cassian had a cold, the GP told them to self-isolate and medicate him with Calpol.

Cassian is now doing much better and the family is at home.

The youngest child to contract the virus was a newborn in London who was rushed to hospital after he was suspected of having pneumonia. The identity of the child is still unknown.
