<p>She told the PA news agency: <em>“He’s a hero and I honestly hope this inspires others to think positive.”</em></p>
<p>Mr Ruddy was tested for coronavirus on March 18 after going to hospital with an unrelated issue.</p>
<p><em>“He didn’t have any symptoms and that’s what surprised us all,”</em> Ms Ruddy said.</p>
<p><em>“He remained in good health and spirits and shocked nurses.</em></p>
<p><em>“His progress was monitored and he was allowed to come home on March 28.”</em></p>
<p>Ruddy’s family decided to cancel the care service which was used to help him in the morning in order to limit the spread of the coronavirus.</p>
<p><em>“It’s been tough as you can imagine but myself and my dad drop off supplies when needed,”</em> she added.</p>
<p><em>“I think it’s a precaution many elderly people have taken better to be safe than sorry.</em></p>
<p><em>“Him and my grandma, who is in good health, remain in isolation for the next two weeks to eliminate the possibility of spreading Covid-19.”</em></p>
