A Royal Navy veteran who spent nearly a month battling coronavirus said he was 'treated like a leper' when he was finally discharged from hospital. After successfully beating the killer bug in Derriford Hospital, 79-year old Robert Embleton was driven by ambulance to his retirement home in Portsmouth.

After beating coronavirus in hospital, the veteran said he said he considered buying a bell to warn others of his presence because 'I was particularly regarded as a menace.' During his time in hospital Embleton shared a ward with three other patients battling the virus.
