West Midlands Police chief could soon be home after coronavirus intensive care battle
A West Midlands Police chief superintendent who was in intensive care could be home "very soon".
Ch Supt Phil Dolby was taken to hospital on March 29 after showing symptoms of coronavirus for seven days.
His colleagues posted on social media to say he was in intensive care and on a ventilator helping him to breathe.
But after 13 days on a ventilator, officers confirmed he is on the road to recovery.
And today they said he is still doing well and could be home soon, but will need months to recover.
Firearms Operations Unit tweeted saying: "For your information Phil Dolby is still doing well.
"There’s a good chance he’ll go home very soon to rest and recover, he’ll need a few months realistically.
"His family thank the NHS for their amazing help and thank you all for your support."
