A cheating husband who caught coronavirus while on vacation with his sidechic in Italy has been placed on isolation in the UK.

His wife however is not informed on how the husband got the disease, although he confessed to medical coordinators in the hospital where he is being admitted.

He told them that he contracted the virus while he was on a secret holiday in the hotspot.

A source told The Sun;

‘His case would be funny if it wasn’t quite so serious. The man confessed what he’d been up to in Italy, and that his wife has no idea.

‘She thinks he just picked up the disease on his business trip away. Although the patient admitted to medics what had happened, he said nothing would persuade him to name his mistress.’

It comes as the UK’s total number of confirmed cases sits at 1,543. Fifty-six people are known to have died from the virus in Britain.

He is expected to make a full recovery from the infection but is said to be in a ‘blind panic’ at the though of his wife finding out.

But the source said he’s relieved he got back before flights were cancelled and he had to explain to his wife where he’d been.
