Juanita was diagnosed with the virus last Friday and was put on a ventilator in the ICU earlier this week. Chase and his family have also been in quarantine since last week with five other family members. His father, Tony, has been isolated to his room after exhibiting a cough, but has not shown any additional symptoms.
