"I want to mention in particular two nurses who stood by my beside for 48 hours when things could have gone either way. They're Jenny from New Zealand (...) and Luís from Portugal, near Porto. (...) For every second of the night, they were watching, they were thinking and they were caring and making the interventions I needed."

These were UK Prime Minister's words on Sunday, just a few hours after leaving St Thomas Hospital.

At 10 Downing Street, Boris Johnson thanked all NHS workers and highlighted two nurses; one of them is Luís, from Aveiro, near Porto. He is living in the UK since 2014 and works at St Thomas Hospital in the ICU, Level 3. One of the most critical levels.

The video was shared via Twitter on 12th April, after medical discharge from the infection by the new coronavirus.
