Garth Brooks' said that his was his youngest daughter Allie was the member of his team he was referring to when he announced a coronavirus case in his immediate circle earlier this month.

At his online press conference earlier today, Garth said, “Her husband works with us every day, so that was the possible scare. So everybody went and got tested, and everybody tested negative, so we were back up and running pretty quick. She quarantined for another 14 days after her time as well, so she’s feeling great.”

He mentioned that Allie had a mild case of the coronavirus and a sore throat was the worst of it.

Garth doesn't seem to be too concerned about another outbreak in his house, something he credits Yearwood for. He says, "If you know Trisha Yearwood, she’s very … she’s in control and she has been very spot on these six months, and she’s led our family through it."

Nancy Brooks has been working in the country music industry for almost 30 years. She has interviewed pretty much any country star you can think of.
