UK ministers share 5-year-old's 'valuable' advice amid coronavirus crisis

From UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson to Secretary of State for Health Matt Hancock, many British lawmakers have been sharing a video of a kid, Kaydyn who is shielded by people refraining to their homes amid coronavirus crisis. According to Robert Jenrick, UK’s Secretary of State for Housing, Communities & Local Government, the five-year-old Kaydyn has cystic fibrosis and is among the millions who are being protected from contracting the fatal COVID-19 by others practising social distancing. He can be seen asking people to stay indoors and "stay safe" in the viral video which is being called as "valuable" and "great" advice by UK ministers. 

As the number of coronavirus infections rises to 25,150 and casualties reach 1,789 in the UK, the government has been taking extra precautionary measures including delivery of food boxes for which Kaydyn can be seen thanking the authorities and “happily” asking everyone to remain indoors. The video has garnered over 145k views on Twitter and received thousands of likes with most internet users praising Kaydyn’s “high spirit” during “harsh times”. Evidence by scientists has revealed that older people and the individuals who have existing medical conditions are more vulnerable to deadly coronavirus.
