Author Michael Rosen has said he is still experiencing the effects of Covid after he was admitted to hospital with the virus last year.
The poet and author, 75, spent 40 days in an induced coma after he was put into intensive care as he struggled to recover from the illness.
Rosen will discuss his experience of being cared for by the NHS, who he says saved his life, in an upcoming London Literature Festival event.

“In terms of symptoms, I have a foggy left eye, I have a left ear that doesn’t really hear much, I have numb toes and I get dizzy quite often, which is mild, and then, every now and then, I get vertigo,” he told the PA news agency.

Author Kate Mosse has said the lack of action on social care has partly been driven by the shortage of women involved in the Government’s decision-making process.
The Labyrinth author, who has been a carer for 12 years, said the fact there are “very few women in the room” means the issue has not been taken seriously enough.
This is despite social care being “enormously an area where women work in paid and unpaid” roles, she told the PA news agency.

Mosse said too few of the people involved with running social care have first-hand experience in the area.
