A mum-of-eighteen accidentally infected 17 of her children with coronavirus after contracting at first 'silent' infection. Brittany Jencik, of Penfield, New York says she was asymptomatic and only realised she had caught the deadly bug when her children began falling ill.
The US mum of eighteen kids, some of whom are adopted, said she only began feeling really unwell later into the illness. When the virus finally hit her - it hit hard, she told local ABC13 news affiliate WHAM.
Seventeen of her children live with her at home. Ms Jencik said unknowingly contracted the virus around five weeks ago without realising it at first.
