A son says he was given 15 minutes to say goodbye to his father who is dying in hospital with coronavirus. The 88-year-old grandfather was found collapsed in his home on Tuesday, March 3.

He was placed into isolation at North Manchester General Hospital when it was discovered he had recently been to a party with people who travelled to Italy for a ski trip.

Half of the people attending the party have since been diagnosed with coronavirus, some who had returned from Italy and some who had spent time with them at the party.

The man was initially said to be suffering from sepsis and tested negative for Covid-19, but was still in isolation as a precaution, his son told the MEN.
