Sir Tom Moore admitted to hospital with Covid-19
Beloved UK figure Captain Tom Moore has been admitted to hospital with Covid-19, after being treated for pneumonia.
Moore, who captured the country’s heart by raising more than £30m for charity by doing laps around his garden, was admitted to hospital today and is not in intensive care.
Moore’s daughter gave the update this evening on the 100-year-old’s Twitter account.
“Over the last few weeks he was being treated for pneumonia and last week tested positive for Covid-19,” the tweet 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.”
