Prominent Belfast solicitor Niall Murphy was applauded by healthcare workers as he was wheeled out of intensive care following nearly two weeks of treatment for coronavirus.
A video of the 43-year-old lawyer, a partner at KRW LAW LLP, leaving intensive care was posted on Twitter by Sinn Féin MLA Gerry Kelly on Friday.
Mr Murphy was in a “critical but stable” condition as recently as two weeks ago after being placed on a ventilator in a medically induced coma, prompting an outpouring of support from the legal community.
KRW LAW partner Kevin Winters said: “Hearing news of his transfer out of ICU has been seismic for Niall’s family.
“The timing of the move coming as it did on Good Friday is both life-affirming and poignant.
“Watching the video of Niall being clapped and cheered by all the medical staff as he leaves ICU is truly inspirational and a defiantly iconic moment during this hellish crisis.”
