The BBC spoke to a doctor working with the National Health Service, NHS, Dr Emeka Okorocha on the conditions of medical workers in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic. And he made the following points:
- Health workers are thinking of themselves as well as for their patients
- There’s a shortage of equipment so UK health workers have had to adapt
- UK health workers expecting to receive new protective gear from UK government
- UK health workers facing tough situations treating coronavirus, so patients urged to stay home more
- Health workers go home fearing they may spread Covid-19 to their family
