A woman thought to be Britain's oldest patient to survive coronavirus has been discharged from hospital aged 106. Connie Titchen was released from Birmingham's City Hospital after battling with Covid-19.
Sandwell and West Birmingham NHS Trust said Connie, who underwent a hip operation last December, was admitted to hospital in mid-March with suspected pneumonia and diagnosed with coronavirus soon afterwards.
In a statement issued by the Trust, the retired shop worker and great-grandmother said: "I feel very lucky that I've fought off this virus.
I can't wait to see my family." Last month, a great-grandmother sadly died from coronavirus aged 108. Hilda Churchill died 24 hours after testing positing in Salford, Manchester.
