She added that she was «not sure» how she contracted the virus because she had not been outside much in the past week.
«I didn’t go out, or even shop a lot or mingle last week, and I didn’t have anyone to be around,» she explained.

“The last few days have been Christmas with their dads so Zoe won’t be back until Wednesday but Hayley will be back today.
“Once Zoe continues to test negative we hope she can go back to school and Hailey will just have to continue to isolate with me and then come back.
