Emily told magazine: "My sleep has been terrible, but I've been doing mindfulness exercises on my phone and that's really great."
She went on: "There is a certain degree of anxiety at times because it's [coronavirus] such an unknown situation.
"But the whole country is really behind the NHS, so we're feeling a lot of love and support."
Peter added: "Emily's my hero. I'm so proud of her."
Emily, who qualified as a doctor in 2015, has been taking extra care to protect the family amid the outbreak.
This has meant having limited contact with her children - Amelia, six, and Theo, three - and Peter's other two kids with his ex-wife Katie Price, Junior, 14, and Princess, 12.
She revealed she has a shower the minute she comes home from work and changes her clothes.
Pete previously told us he has been having sleepless nights worrying about his wife.
He told The Sun Online: “Of course I've had sleepless nights, of course I worry about Emily, I worry about the kids.
“She says to me that her biggest worry is me getting it because I'm 47. I'm not concerned about that, I am concerned about her a lot and that follows through to the kids.
“She's thinking about me and my contact with the children and passing anything onto me and I am thinking about her.”

Peter's son Junior was forced to self-isolate after showing symptoms of coronavirus but has battled through his illness.
Junior revealed he might have the disease in an Instagram post at the end of March, explaining: “These aren’t easy times as we know.
“I am videoing this to tell you I am showing symptoms of the coronavirus. It is not me saying I have it, I am showing symptoms. Everyone please stay safe these aren’t easy times like I said.”
