Peter, 80, has been staying at home with his wife Ann after their son asked them to. Dan said: "My dad's got bad lungs, he's in his 80s, he's just absolutely, you know, straight in the crosshairs. "We're reading a lot, we're chatting a lot, Dan and his children do Facetime with us, so that's really important." He explained he brought his mum and dad some pasta and, when his dad thanked him, he felt like there was no need to be told 'thank you'. As of today, the total number of confirmed coronavirus cases in the UK is 5,018 - with 233 deaths reported.
