Sam Smith in self-isolation after showing COVID-19 symptoms

Singer and songwriter Samuel Frederick Smith, better known as Sam Smith, said that since his sister and him exhibited symptoms of coronavirus, they self-isolated for three weeks to make sure that they were clear of the virus, though they never tested for the same.

Los Angeles: Singer Sam Smith recently admitted that he may have contracted the coronavirus two weeks before the lockdown began in the UK.

Smith's sister exhibited symptoms and in a new interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music, the Stay With Me singer said they caught the infection even though he was never tested, according to news reports.

"I know I have it, 100 per cent have it. I'm just going to assume that I did because everything I've read completely pointed to that," he said.

"I think I definitely had it. And then as soon as I had it, my sister, five days after me, started getting the same symptoms, who's living with me," added the Lay Me Down hitmaker.

The two then self-isolated for three weeks to make sure they were clear of the virus.

The Stay With Me crooner said: "It was clear. Because I've got an older nan (grandmother) and stuff, so we didn't want to risk anything. I got it about two weeks before the U.K. really hit. Well, I think I got it."

"I don't 100 per cent know, but I got it and then as everyone was kind of really on lockdown, that's when I got over it, luckily," he concluded.
