The incident occurred after one of them had accidentally let the mask drop beneath the nose. Scott Wilson, one of the members of the family, explained how he and 19 members of his family had just settled in when one of their masks has accidentally dropped before being corrected.

Can we talk, can we have a conversation? Nobody has even really talked to us.’
