Jubilant staff at Southmead Hospital confirmed on social media that the last Covid-19 patient had left the hospital's ICU .
In a joyous post on Twitter, a video was shared of the patient being wheeled from the ICU, after spending fifty days battling on the ward.
Patients and staff came out to clap the patient as they left.
Although this is a very welcomed, positive step, North Bristol Trust are keen to remind the public things can change. The NBT ask that the public remain vigilant and continue to follow guidelines surrounding coronavirus, in a bid to stop the numbers increasing again.
Evelyn Barker, NBT Chief Operating Officer, said:

“I want to thank the public for their support during the pandemic and ask them to continue to follow Government advice to reduce the risk of spreading the infection.
“I would also like to thank our staff for continuing to provide high quality care to our patients during these challenging times.”
