Just because you're young and fit doesn't mean you're safe from Covid.
That's the message from a 24 year old Offaly man who spent 13 days in an induced coma after contracting the disease.
Former footballer Cain Brereton, who was living in London, began feeling unwell over a month ago and ended up spending three weeks in intensive care with the virus.
He was welcomed home to Edenderry last week but still has issues walking, swallowing and has constant fatigue.
His dad Adrian says it was frightening how quickly the illness developed:
