hi.
I have a mate who was in hospital with c19 . He nearly died. But made it. Was in a coma for 6weeks.hospital for 2 months.
Has been out a month now.
I have seen him and he is not right .physically nor mentally.
Anyway . He has started to drive....
I am correct in thinking his doctor should clear him before he can drive?

I think he should have been told he couldn't drive. And then he'd have to be cleared to drive at a future point. He went in being able to drive, and if no one has said anything, then he isn't driving against medical advice.

A very useful link, I didn't know that existed, might solve a few arguments down the pub!!

However, rather ironically, it doesn't mention the Corona virus or it's twin brother Covid 19.
