A mum has issued a harrowing plea while recovering from coronavirus in intensive care after the virus "floored" her on Christmas Day.
Doctors told Allie Sherlock that had she not been put on a ventilator at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital, she would have died.
During her hospital admission, Allie has seen two Covid patients die in beds either side of her. She has now begged people to follow Government advice, by staying home.
Her entire family - including her sons aged six and eight, her 70-year-old mother and husband with asthma, have all tested positive for Covid.
