According to the British Sky News Network reported on the 19th, a new crown patient in the United Kingdom chose to stop treatment and then died. He is currently the longest known patient in the UK who has been suffering from COVID-19.
The patient, Jason Kelk, was 49 years old. He contracted the coronavirus in March 2020 and has since spent more than a year in the intensive care unit of a hospital in England. On the morning of the 18th, Kerk was transferred to a hospice hospital and died accompanied by his family.

Kerk's wife, Sue, posted her husband's death on social media, saying that making such a decision was "another hurdle that her beloved husband faced in the battle against the disease after contracting the new crown virus." Sue said in an interview that it is very important for her husband to make decisions in his own way. "People may think he's not brave, but he's really brave, and I think so."
A month before Kerk's death, his wife told reporters that her husband's condition had deteriorated, and although she launched a crowdfunding effort to save her husband, she was worried that Kerk himself had given up fighting the disease. Kelk had stopped ventilating in recent months, but after his condition worsened, he had to use it again and still needed kidney dialysis. (Overseas Network Wang Shanning)
