Labour MP Jo Stevens's condition is said to be "improving" days after it was announced that she had been hospitalised with Covid-19.

The shadow secretary of state for digital, culture, media and sport was said on December 31 to have been “laid low with Covid for a while”.

On Tuesday, her team tweeted: “Jo’s condition is improving. She has asked us to thank you all for your kind concern and good wishes which have been overwhelming.”

A previous update to her condition on Saturday saw messages of support from Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer, who called the member for Cardiff Central “a dear friend and colleague”, while Welsh First Minister Mark Drakeford wished her a "speedy recovery”.

On Saturday, her team tweeted: “Jo has asked us to let you know that she is being treated in hospital for Covid. Thanks for all your good wishes we will give an update when we can.”

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer replied to the tweet, saying: “Get well soon Jo, a dear friend and colleague.”

First Minister Mark Drakeford said: “All of our thoughts and best wishes are with Jo for a speedy recovery.

“Thank you to Jo’s constituency team for continuing to support Cardiff Central constituents at this difficult time.”
