Sir Tom Moore ill with Covid
CAPTAIN Sir Tom Moore has tested positive for Covid-19 and has been admitted to hospital, where he is being treated for pneumonia, his daughter, Hannah, said in a statement last night.
In post on Captain Sir Tom Moore’s Twitter page, his daughter said the 100-year-old, who raised millions for NHS charities by walking around his garden, had been admitted to hospital in Bedford.
“He was at home with us until today, when he needed additional help with his breathing,” she wrote. “He is being treated in a ward, although he is not in ICU.
“The medical care he has received in the last few weeks has been remarkable and we know that the wonderful staff at Bedford Hospital will do all they can to make him comfortable and hopefully return home as soon as possible.
Vaccine Minister Nadhim Zahawi tweeted that he was “praying” for Captain Sir Tom Moore, and Sir Keir Starmer wished him well.
