Anorexic woman at "grave risk" due to coronavirus crisis is sent home by court order

A young woman with severe anorexia who should ideally be kept in hospital must be discharged home for her own safety due to the coronavirus crisis, the president of the High Court has ordered.

Doctors sought a home return with a treatment plan as the “lesser of two evils” because the young woman is at "grave risk" in hospital and the consequences of her contracting Covid19 “could be fatal”, Mr Justice Peter Kelly said.
