The Mayor and Mayoress of Harrogate were at Harrogate district hospital last night to pay their thanks to staff in what could be the final clap for carers.

April Martin, was in intensive care at Harrogate hospital with coronavirus.  She told the Stray Ferret that she would not be here today if it wasn't for the treatment she received.

 It's very emotional, some of the nurses have come up to me saying I know you won't recognise me but it is great to see you.


The Mayor described what could be the final clap as very moving:

I didn't think we would see this day if I'm honest... I was very worried when they put April in the ambulance and asked if I wanted to come and say bye, I thought to myself this could be the last time I see my wife... It's very emotional here at the hospital tonight.
