101 y/o man becomes oldest Brit to beat coronavirus after 2 weeks in hospital

Published on: 10 April 2020

A 101-year-old man has become the oldest Brit in the UK to beat coronavirus.

Keith Watson was discharged from the Alexandra Hospital in Worcestershire on Wednesday after recovering from the killer bug and has returned to his care home.

The grandfather, from Kidderminster, had tested positive for Covid-19 after going into hospital for an operation on his leg following a fall.

Nurses treating him saw that he'd developed a high temperature before he was officially diagnosed with the disease.

Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust shared an image of Mr Watson in a wheelchair alongside ward staff in masks and other protective wear yesterday.

It said: "This is Keith, he's 101 years old.

"He went home today after beating Coronavirus.

"Well done to everyone on Ward 12 at the Alexandra Hospital for looking after Keith so well for the past two weeks!"
