Kodaline's Mark Prendergast warned Irish people to be “overcautious” as he revealed he has tested positive for Covid-19.

The guitarist, 31, described the experience as a “horrible waiting game” and admitted he initially felt he might have been over-reacting by self-isolating.

Mark, who believes he picked up the virus in a London airport, said: “About 10 days ago I felt this very, very dry cough. I was in my parents’ house.

“It was quite obvious it was a new cough. It was very, very, very dry... I’d never had a cough like it before... I was a little bit panicked. I just got up and left.

“Maybe three, four days later I got a fever that lasted for four or five days.

“But overall my experience wasn’t as bad as it can get. So I’m kind of lucky.”
