Video: York Hospital staff applaud coronavirus patient as he leaves critical care after 106 days

Well done Ian – and well done the staff at York Hospital.

This was the magical moment when a patient called Ian was transferred to a ward at the hospital after spending 106 days in the Critical Care Unit at the hospital.

He has now recovered enough to leave the unit and continue his rehabilitation on a hospital ward.

The video was posted by Annabel, a sister on the Critical Care Unit at York Hospital, and has been viewed more than 2,000 times.
