Covid finally caught me .Thankfully I'm Double jabbed. More than Half way through my isolation and coping with the symptoms and effects well. Unfortunately I'm going to be a No Show for some Professional & Personal events. Just want to let everyone know why & offer my apologies

“Unfortunately I’m going to be a No Show for some Professional & Personal events. Just want to let everyone know why & offer my apologies,” he added.
The news comes after the seven-day rolling average for confirmed COVID-19 cases in the UK reached its highest since July, when the confirmed count passed 51,000.
Over the weekend, singer Ed Sheeran revealed he too had contracted the virus, and revealed he would be doing a number of his planned in-person appearances from his home instead while he recovers.
