LABOURING to breathe, Alan Jackson has just spent his first night in hospital having been brought by ambulance the night before.
The 61-year-old is shocked to find himself in the SATA ward and, while other patients are too unwell to be approached, Alan wants his case to stand as a warning to others.
He had no symptoms so was surprised to be contacted by Test and Protect and even more surprised when a test came back positive.
Tuesday was his tenth day of isolation and he expected to be back to normal.
Instead, his condition deteriorated and his worried sister-in-law told him to phone the emergency services.
