Good news.

Lady Daly · #**400** 11-26-2020, 06:47 PM

Seven days doesn't seem long enough for a quarantine after exposure, I was thinking 14 days. However, glad to hear they tested negative and feel well. Covid is the very last thing either of them need at their age especially the King having recently undergone a valve repair surgery.
