An elderly Washington state couple have been separated after a local nursing home was forced to go under quarantine due to the coronavirus. Charlie Campbell was seen taking his mother Dorothy Campbell, 88, to see her husband of 60 years Gene Campbell, 89, at the Life Care Center nursing home in Kirkland. In heartbreaking photos obtained by PEOPLE, Dorothy is seen peering through a window, talking to Gene, who is holding a phone to his ear on the inside. Charlie is captured gently holding on to his mother’s arms as she speaks with his father. Dorothy and Charlie were also photographed leaving the facility, both with somber looks on their faces. Washington state officials announced that the number of cases present in the area had jumped from 39 to 70. As of last week, 14 people in the U.S. have died from coronavirus-related illness – 13 in Washington state, and one in California. There are now 231 confirmed cases of coronavirus in the U.S. and 101,587 worldwide. The first cases of a mysterious respiratory illness began in Wuhan, China, in late December. Since then, the virus has spread worldwide, leading the World Health Organisation to declare a public health emergency, the first since the zika epidemic in 2016.
