Rochdale MP Tony Lloyd has been released from intensive care after being treated for Covid-19.
Mr Lloyd, who was appointed as the Shadow Northern Ireland Secretary in March, was admitted to Manchester Royal Infirmary.
He has been receiving treatment since April 6, the day after Boris Johnson.
Councillor Faisal Rana tweeted a message from Mr Lloyd thanking people for their support.
The message said: "I have now been moved out of ICU.
"It certainly is a tough condition and it has no doubt left me literally gasping for air.
"But I am happy to say that I am, and continue to be, on the mend."
Several Labour politicians have responded to pass on further messages of support to the 70-year-old MP.
Diane Abbot tweeted: "Please pass on to Tony my best wishes and how pleased I am that he has come out of ICU."
David Lammy wrote: "This is great news. Get well soon Tony."
Welsh MP Chris Elmore said: "So pleased to hear this. Get back to full strength soon Tony."
Mr Lloyd's family thanked the NHS staff caring for him when he was first admitted to hospital.
The statement said: "He is is stable and responding to the treatment and dedicated care that he is receiving from the brilliant doctors, nurses and other healthcare staff at the hospital."
Sheffield MP Louise Haigh has been serving as interim Shadow Northern Ireland Secretary while Mr Lloyd has been recovering from Covid-19.
