98-year-old Second World War veteran beats Coronavirus
98-year-old Second World War veteran Douglas Moore received a clap of honour as he left hospital having beating coronavirus.
Mr Moore was admitted to Kettering General Hospital with Covid-19 symptoms on Wednesday, April 15, and spent six days fighting the illness.
He already had a lung condition and was admitted after having a fall. He wasn't seriously hurt, but was kept in because he was coughing and had a temperature.
On Wednesday, April 22, he was given the all clear to go home.
Mr Moore served as a signaller and used radar in Egypt to spot enemy planes, boats and even mines.
His daughter says he is now pleased to be home and to be able to sit in the garden and watch the world go by and the wildlife.
This was the moment a 106-year-old woman – believed to be Britain’s oldest Covid-19 survivor – left hospital after shaking off Coronavirus and suspected pneumonia.
Connie Titchen, who recovered from a hip operation last year, was applauded by staff at Birmingham’s City Hospital.
The grandmother-of-five and great-grandmother-of-eight, from Birmingham, battled the virus for just under three weeks before being given a clean bill of health by medical staff.
