A Second World War veteran from Alabama defeated coronavirus and has been released from hospital in time to celebrate his 104th birthday.

Maj Lee Wooten was captured on video by hospital staff being discharged from Madison Hospital to a chorus of healthcare workers cheering him on and singing happy birthday.

The veteran, who served in the US Army for several years overseas, had just won his battle with coronavirus and was being discharged last week to go and celebrate his 104th birthday at home with family two days later, WAFF reported.

“Major Lee Wooten won his battle with Covid-19 in time to be home to celebrate his 104th birthday,” the hospital posted alongside the warming footage.
