Cardiff MP thanks 'wonderful people' who cared for her in hospital as she battled Covid

Cardiff MP Jo Stevens had a heartfelt message for the people who looked after her in hospital as she was treated for coronavirus.

The Labour MP for Cardiff Central said she "cannot begin to describe my gratitude to the wonderful people who have cared for me in hospital".

She described those who work in the UK's hospitals as "truly exceptional".

"I feel so fortunate to be back home knowing that for so many families, it has been a very different situation," she added.

Her tweet was greeted with messages of support, including from Cardiff North MP Anna McMorrin, who said: "So good to hear. Get well soon."

The member for Cardiff Central - and shadow secretary of state for digital, culture, media and sport - was said on New Year's Eve to have been "laid low with Covid for a while".

A previous update to her condition on Saturday saw messages of support from Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer, who called Ms Stevens "a dear friend and colleague", while Welsh First Minister Mark Drakeford said: "All of our thoughts and best wishes are with Jo for a speedy recovery."
