Annette was waiting in the window of her home for daughter Kelly Muller with the sign and an empty bottle, knowing she would be visiting to collect her essentials shopping list. Kelly said she was surprised to see her mum waiting anxiously in the window before pinning the sign with big, bold letters to the glass. Emphasising her vital shopping list, Annette even waved the bottle around.

Kelly, from Kingston, Ontario, Canada, found the encounter hilarious and posted a photo to Facebook.

She wrote: “Went to my 82 year old mother’s house today to check on her and to see if she needed anything.

“She was anxiously waiting for me at the window.”

The post quickly went viral, winning the support of people are the globe.

One person commented: “I love it! Goooo Grandma!”

Another wrote: “That’s great – we need to take care of our parents and elders so someone needs to go get this nice lady some wine.”

Annettes’s zest for life even captured the attention of a wine company in Zaragoza, Spain, that offered a ond-month wine supply because of “the hilarious attitude of you mother towards quarantine”.

In a later post, Kelly published a photo of her mum alongside the comment “Happy to report #MamaMuller got her Wine!!”

The comical news comes as European receive the news that lockdown is to be extended.

The UK has extended lockdown for another week when it will legally have to review measures to ensure they are working, as the death toll rose to 11,329.

Scientific advisers are due to review the effectiveness of social distancing measures this week, but foreign secretary Dominic Raab, signalled it’s not likely to change quarantine rules.

“We don’t expect to make any changes to the measures currently in place at that point, and we won’t until we’re confident as we realistically can be, that any such changes can be safely made,” he said.

At a Downing Street press briefing today, Mr Raab acted defensively when pressed on whether the government should have changed lockdown measures to save lives – a recurring question for the government.

“I don’t think it is clear. I don’t think those comparisons (with other countries like South Korea) are like for like because of where we are on the curve,” he said.

French president Emmanuel Macron said the lockdown will continue until May 11, when the country will begin to opening schools, creches but not bars and restaurants.

Citizens will be required to wear face masks and orders will remain closed to non-Europeans.

Elsewhere in Europe, deaths in Italy from the epidemic rose over the weekend to 19,468 and the number of new cases climbed to 4,694 from a previous 3,951.

It was the highest daily death toll since April 6.

The coronavirus is thought to be starting to slow as most of the world remains in lockdown.
