A Texas father with the coronavirus is recovering in isolation at his home while trying to not infect his wife and teenage son, according to a report.

Health officials in Travis County formally diagnosed Mark Olson, 53, with COVID-19 Sunday after the financial planner in Austin had a fever for more than a week, coupled with fatigue and stomach problems, the Austin American-Statesman reports.

“I’m certainly concerned,” Olson told the newspaper and KVUE during an interview on FaceTime. “I’m trying to pay a lot of attention to my breathing, whether I am having any breathing issues or shortness of breath.”

Olson, who characterized his symptoms as mild, came down with a headache on March 13 after eating out with his wife and friends. He took some Advil and figured he’d be better in the morning, he said.

“I got up, and I wasn’t doing so great, so I stayed in bed,” Olson said. “And I’ve been in bed ever since.”

Olson is unclear where he picked up the bug, but he returned home from a business trip in New York — including a stop in the city — two weeks before he first starting showing symptoms.

He also spent several hours at Newark Liberty International Airport and later attended a conference north of Houston where “people had flown in from all over the country,” he said.

“He’s never sick,” Olson’s wife of 10 years, Nana, told the newspaper. “I think I’ve seen him in bed with fever one time in our whole relationship.”

Olson’s symptoms then took a turn for the worse some nine days after returning to Austin.

“I had this pressure in my chest, and I would feel that pressure at my breast plate,” he said. “Almost like a mild heart attack kind of pressure, and I thought, ‘This could be some of the symptoms.’”

Olson has since been recuperating while isolated in a bedroom in the family’s home, with his wife and son leaving a cooler with juice by the door. He tried at one point to make it to the kitchen, but found himself completely winded, his wife said.

Olson’s wife and son have not shown any symptoms of the virus, but have been ordered to remain quarantined for 14 days.

Olson, meanwhile, will stay alone in the bedroom until three days after his symptoms subside.

“I’m pretty much secluded to this part of the house,” he said. “I’m waiting it out.”
