Leeds man Jason Kelk - the UK's longest Covid-19 in-patient - has died
Leeds man Jason Kelk - who was thought to be the UK’s longest Covid-19 inpatient having spent the past 14-and-a-half months in hospital - has died.
The 49-year-old’s devastated family revealed to the Yorkshire Evening Post that his battle had simply got too much for him and he had come to the heartbreaking decision to withdraw from all treatment.
Earlier this morning he was transferred from St James’ Hospital - where had been since March 31 last year - to St Gemma’s Hospice where he spent his final hours surrounded by his family.
