Since those diagnoses, there have been more major ones including Prince Albert II, Senator Rand Paul, Prince Charles, etc. They all have the same thing to say about being safe and with that includes staying home, washing your hands frequently, social distancing and of course, no get-togethers in any way. With that being said, stay safe and happy quarantine!
