“Unfortunately we are now seeing a number of cases that are losing the battle through Covid-19, which is devastating for families losing loved ones.

“Let’s all pull together and follow guidelines so people can try and return to normal life as soon as we can and get back to normality at the earliest opportunity, so please stay at home, protect the NHS and save lives.”
