Coronavirus: Dundee father of 13 tests positive for Covid-19

GBNEWS24 DESK//

When lockdown measures were first announced, Roy and Emma Hann gave their children strict routines and organised family activities in a valiant effort to maintain order.

The Hanns from Dundee are known as one of Scotland’s largest families – and with 10 of their 13 children living at home, their household was large enough to form two basketball teams.

Despite the parents’ best efforts, all order “went out the window” after the novelty wore off.

Shattered nerves and bickering ensued as the family tried to cope with a less-than-peaceful new normal.

But all tension subsided on Thursday when they learned Roy had tested positive for Covid-19.

work on hiatus, Emma’s sole focus is looking after her children – her 28 years of experience has stood her in good stead, but the pressures of lockdown life have occasionally been overwhelming.

She said: “I went a walk the day before Roy tested positive and I started to hit a wall – I started crying.

“I thought I’m done and I just wanted a break because it was too hard.

“Weirdly the next morning when I told the family about Roy, they all took a bit of a moment – the last couple of days everyone has been pulling together a bit more.
