“The nurses in particular have been fantastic. If you didn’t read the Southern, you wouldn’t know there was Covid in the ward, as they have been very calm, albeit cautious. Patients in the ward have been told not to leave their room.
“Hopefully, I will be discharged on Friday, but I will need to be tested negative first.”
