101-year-old British man beats coronavirus

The man who hails from Worcestershire, England, was originally admitted to hospital after a fall. However once there, he developed a high temperature and tested positive for COVID-19.

"He was in hospital having taken a tumble at his care home and needed surgery and that was a big enough ordeal at 101, but he got through that." said Jo Watson, Keith's daughter-in-law. "He was showing signs of a temperature and so the hospital took all the precautions, tested him and he came back positive."

Jo Watson told BBC in an interview that, "He's doing OK, he was discharged yesterday [Wednesday]."

Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust posted the success story to their Facebook page and it's since, "all gone a bit mad".

The post has garnered more than 500 comments and has been shared by over 3,000 people.

Jo Watson said that Kieth is, "amazing for his age" but he is also a little "bemused" by the the viral sensation of his recovery.

"We didn't know anything about this Facebook page until a member of the family had it pop up and it's gone a bit mad." said Jo Watson. When asked how Keith is holding up now that he is back home, she said he is "complaining about the pain in his leg", but "not anything else".

"Having gone in for the operation is one thing and then when we learnt he was tested positive we were thinking the worst... but he's amazing for his age".
