“After working for the past two years looking after the worst affected Covid patients, putting everything I have into helping other people and coming home heartbroken at times, I’m absolutely gutted that this has happened and hope that nobody else has to go through this.
“I was in utter disbelief when it happened, because I just keep myself to myself, so to have this happen is just soul-destroying.”
