He was admitted to the hospital on Wednesday, April 8 for treatment of an infection that required intravenous antibiotics. It was later revealed that he was in fact afflicted by the virus in spite of him not shown any symptoms.
The news that the Scotsman was suffering from the virus brought about a number of fans and celebrities rallying around him, wishing him a speedy recovery.
Writing in the Sunday Post (h/t Metro), Dalglish praised the NHS for their efforts and claimed that they give their best to every patient receiving treatment.
“We are lucky to have them and I wish every one of them well as they work so hard to get us through this.”

The former No.7’s family also took out time to respond to well-wishers. His son Paul Dalglish, a former Newcastle United player described it as a humbling experience to see the outpour of goodwill from fans of all clubs.
He also urged people to stay safe in what has been a testing time for everyone.
“I’m sure we can all agree this is more important than football & that we are all united as blues to support the NHS. Stay safe everyone.”
Dalglish’s daughter, Kelly Cates, a presenter for Sky Sports and BBC, also went on to thank fans for their wishes and apologized for not being able to reply to all the messages.
One of the club’s finest, he has won 20 major trophies as a player and a manager. As a tribute to him, Liverpool named the Centenary stand at Anfield as the Sir Kenny Dalglish Stand in 2018. (h/t Liverpoolfc.com)
