A fit and healthy 40-year-old man who required hospital treatment after contracting coronavirus is urging people to stay at home.
Andrew, of Sale, shared images of himself at Wythenshawe Hospital in an attempt to make others take Covid-19 more seriously.
Fortunately, Andrew is no longer in hospital and is now recovering at home. However, he said the virus has left him breathless due to the lung inflammation it caused.
Andrew said he keeps himself fit and does not smoke, but the virus still "floored" him. He wrote on Facebook: "Here’s a picture diary of part of my week with Covid 19, the worst week of my life. "Thankfully with a good outcome, thanks to the great work and care of all the staff at UHSM.] "I’m back home now free from the virus
