Captain Tom Moore has been admitted to hospital after testing positive for coronavirus, his family have revealed.
He has suffered with pneumonia over the ‘past few weeks’, his daughter Hannah revealed in a statement, and was taken to Bedford Hospital in Bedfordshire today after requiring ‘help with his breathing’.
The 100-year-old, who is not in intensive care, first tested positive for coronavirus last week, the statement added.
It read: ‘He was at home with us until today when he needed additional help with his breathing. 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 the can to make him comfortable and hopefully return home as soon as possible.
‘We understand that everyone will be wishing him well.
‘We are of course focusing on my father and will update you when we are able to.’
