Covid: 'Lovely' for elderly couple reunited in hospital after separation

An elderly couple who have been separated since mid-December, recovering from Covid and other health problems, have been reunited in hospital.

John Sneddon said it meant "the absolute world" to be back with his wife of 23 years Barbara Sneddon and they now have lunch together everyday.

The couple were admitted to hospital separately due to health problems, and both tested positive for coronavirus.

They finally laid eyes on each other after Mrs Sneddon was transferred to County Hospital in Torfaen, where her husband also was receiving treatment.
