A mother from New York, USA, with no symptoms of the novel coronavirus, accidentally infected 17 of her children with the deadly bug.

It is reported that Britanny Jencik from Penfield, New York, infected her kids with the bug around 5 weeks ago.

It was only when she herself became ill that her 17 children started to show symptoms of the virus.

During an interview with WHAM, news agency, Jencik said:

“It was terrifying. I was a little ahead of them in the timing of it all. I was as afraid of my life as I had ever been, and not much scares me.”

The mother said she doesn’t know where she contracted the deadly virus.

Thankfully the family is on the road to recovery after staying in isolation.

Not only that, the mother asked her friend to sanitize her entire how.

Matt Moreno, the CEO of Purify Global, brought in a team of 12 to sanitize, disinfect, and clear the house of the family.

The cleaners were wearing hazmat suits for protection and took 2 hours to clean the entire house.

This all happened as the affected family waited outside.

Let’s all hope that she and her kids recover fast.
