Staff at St Richard’s Hospital in Chichester applauded and cheered as coronavirus patient Donna Morgan was discharged today after 92 days.

For three months, staff at the hospital have cared for the 52-year-old, who fell ill with the virus in mid-March.

She was put in an induced coma and spent many weeks in intensive care.

Today, after a total of 92 days in hospital, she was finally allowed to go home.

Video footage shows Donna waving and smiling at staff lining the corridors.

Outside the hospital waited family and friends holding signs and banners, who erupted into applause when they say her.

Observer reader Teresa Parfoot commented online: “Heard the clapping, as I live near the hospital looked out and saw everyone, so special.”
