King's Lynn hospital which took part in coronavirus RECOVERY research project delighted at treatment success

Dozens of West Norfolk hospital patients have taken part in a trial which appears to have provided a major breakthrough in the fight against coronavirus.

More than 40 patients were recruited through the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Lynn onto the Oxford University RECOVERY Trial.

Hospitals across the country are now using Dexamethasone after the trial found the steroid helped to reduce the number of deaths of patients on ventilators or requiring oxygen therapy.
