Clark Coombs is relieved to be back home in the Okanagan after flying home from Europe last week. “It’s really amazing,” he told Global News.
Coombs, 18, spent the last three months in Italy, where the death toll from the coronavirus has now surpassed 13,000, the highest number of fatalities in the world. “It’s just unbelievable that a virus could do such a thing,” Coombs said.
Coombs was modeling in Milan, the capital of the Lombardy region, where 458 people died from COVID-19 on Monday alone. He’s now self-isolating at home for 14 days. “I’ve got another week,” he said. “I’m probably just going to stay inside for a couple more weeks anyway.
