A long-distance runner has described how COVID-19 made him feel like he was drowning - and warned young people to take the disease seriously.
Daryl Doblados, 29, ran the Cambridge half marathon just 10 days before he was diagnosed with
the virus.
The father-of-two, who has no underlying health conditions, called 111 last Thursday as he struggled to breathe and was told to call an ambulance.
"It just feels like your lungs are filling up with smoke or liquid," he said. "I struggled to breathe.
"I've never experienced anything like this before."
He was discharged from hospital eight hours after his admission, with a consultant advising him to monitor his breathing and to call 111 again if it worsened.
