A MAN who spent 106 days in critical care at York Hospital after contracting coronavirus has recovered enough to be moved to another ward.
A video of the man, named only as Ian, being transferred from critical care to a different ward to continue his recovery has been posted on Twitter, with his permission.
Staff lined the corridors to applaud the man.
The video was posted by a sister on the Critical Care Unit at York Hospital, and has been viewed more than 2,000 times.
An incredible team effort! 106 days on critical care and now Ian is heading to a ward to continue his recovery. 👏 #OurNHSPeople #WednesdayMotivation https://t.co/e7VZGhOmmp
