An elderly couple who were never apart in sixty years have beaten coronavirus together after being rushed to the hospital in the same ambulance.

Despite being married for decades, 77-year-old Sidney Moore and 76-year-old Jean have never been apart for long.

After contracting the killer bug, the couple insisted they wanted to stay together and beat COVID-19 side-by-side at Whiston Hospital in England.

Fortunately for Jean and Sidney, the nurses decided to make their wish come true and put together their hospital beds.

“It was our wish to face this together and they made sure we could,” the husband said in an interview with St Helens Star.

“Jean is hard of hearing so it helped because then we both could understand what was going on and it stopped me worrying about her. We’ve never been apart for sixty plus years, we don’t do apart.”

Mr. Moore also told the newspaper that the “staff were brilliant” and that “the emergency team were absolutely superb.”

The couple is currently out of the deep waters and is recovering from the disease from the comfort of their home.

“We’re just making sure we take the time to rest and recover after everything we’ve been through. And fingers crossed and touch wood we are on the mend,” Moore expressed in an interview with The Mirror.

Speaking of the sweet couple, who’ve been together since they were 15 and 16, nurse Nick said it was an honor looking after them.

“I’m so pleased we managed to keep them together on the same ward as it really helped to keep their spirits up and they kept us smiling as well,” he said.

“I’m delighted they are doing so well and I know they will continue to look after each other. On behalf of the entire team I’m sending them our very best wishes.”
