A Kingston, Ont., couple stranded in Spain last month as countries across the globe reacted to the growing novel coronavirus outbreak has now made it home safe and sound.
After weeks of struggle and isolation, 77-year-old Suki Falkner and husband 86-year-old Fred Colwell say they can now breathe a sigh of relief.
They’ve also completed their mandatory 14-day quarantine without any COVID-19 symptoms. “We’re absolutely delighted to be home,” says Falkner.
Falkner says “It’s a miracle” that they didn’t contract the virus while visiting Grenada, Spain. She says COVID-19 was present in Spain at the time they were visiting, however, they didn’t think to leave until outbreaks started to occur.
