Cave's COVID-19 diagnosis comes just over a year after her son Abraham was also hospitalized with the virus, at 11 weeks old.

After Abraham was home, the actress reflected on the experience on the U.K. talk show Lorraine, saying, "Nothing has gone to plan, which I guess everyone can relate to this year. It was a really scary start."

"He was in the neonatal unit after a really sudden, quick labor. He came out within 45 minutes, so he was just a bit like, 'What's going on?' and was taken to the neonatal unit. He's 11 weeks now, and it's just been, I couldn't believe it when we found out. But I almost can believe it because it's been such a strange period of time for everyone. Very scary."

Cave said she wasn't aware how her son caught the virus and that she herself was "symptomless." Sharing a clip from the TV appearance on Instagram, she advised parents to "basically trust your mother's instinct ... and go in to hospital if you are at all concerned."
