Absolute Radio’s Matt Dyson and The Motherload’s Kate Dyson are facing 14 days of self-isolation after Kate seemingly contracted Covid-19. This would be bearable if they weren’t parents to three kids - Bess, Maggie and Ted. And if the schools hadn’t shut.

While Kate languishes in bed, googling random stuff like ‘Can cats die from Coronavirus’, Matt is single-handedly playing nurse, parent, running the household, and broadcasting from the dining room every weekday morning.

Can they and their marriage survive Coronavirus? From Matt and Kate's virus-stricken household to your own, this is their diary.
