A man has been given the all clear after spending 31 days on a ventilator and two months fighting for his life with Covid-19.

Gregg Garfield fell ill after returning from a group ski trip in Northern Italy to his home in Los Angeles. He began to feel ill, prompting paramedics in full hazmat fear to whisk him to hospital for treatment.
