Klopp revealed that the news was met with dismay and shock in the WhatsApp group. He went on to add that being familiar with someone having the virus changes your perspective on the subject.

“What you feel in that moment is a massive difference if you know somebody who got the virus, or if you don’t know.”

The German immediately texted one of Dalglish’s daughters to talk about the issue. He reveals that she was fine if not relaxed and had informed him that the matter was not serious.
Klopp also stated that it was good to hear that the king has been discharged from hospital and continues to recover at home.
“It’s good news – very good news – and I hope he is doing well still.”

Home sweet home!

Upon reaching home, Dalglish showcased his gratitude to all the well-wishers and thanked them for taking out time to send him the messages.

The 69-year-old has urged people to follow the government guidelines to the tee. It is necessary for people to follow a thorough lockdown so as to not come in contact with others. Social distancing is the name of the game and Dalglish has asked people to follow it.
