There was cheering and clapping at West Suffolk Hospital today as a colleague was discharged 10 weeks after being admitted with Covid symptoms.
Staff member Derek was greeted with a round of applause from his colleagues and family outside of the hospital as he was finally allowed to go home, having beaten the killer virus.
Derek said: "I never thought this day would come. Thank you to all the staff who took care of me."
