Jessie Cave is back in the hospital with her 11-week-old baby. The English actress, best known for playing Lavender Brown in the Harry Potter franchise, reveals her son tested positive for COVID-19.
‘Poor baby is positive. He’s fine, but he’s fine, but fortunately they are vigilant and careful, ‘she wrote a picture on Instagram of her child in a hospital room.
In the photo, a laptop computer shows British Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s announcement of a lock in England in order to get the new coronavirus variant under control. The actress watches the news in an isolated room.
“This kind is very powerful and contagious, so I hope people in the coming weeks need to be extra careful,” she added.
Cave welcomed her third child with comedian Alfie Brown in October. She had earlier opened up about the ‘slightly extreme’ birth, revealing her son was born 40 minutes after her water broke. The boy was transferred to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) with the actress calling the experience ‘one of the most difficult moments in my life’.
‘Really did not want to be in a hospital so soon after his birth. “Once again, I am in awe of nurses and doctors,” the Dragged star wrote Tuesday. “Please wish baby a speedy recovery.”
Johnson on Monday instituted a third national exclusion to contain the new coronavirus strain, which was first discovered by scientists in the UK. The highly contagious COVID-19 variant B.1.1.7 has also been detected in the USA.
