'You can get the virus and you can still be fine' BBC 1xtra's DJ Ace, on the waiting list for a new kidney, wants to share the message that high-risk people can recover
"It's because my condition puts me in a high risk and vulnerable category, so I've been advised not to go back to work for now.
"I'm just putting this video out there for people who are like me who have underlying health issues to say you can get the virus and you can still be fine," he adds. He says he's"not scared" of coronavirus - and agrees with Ace that the most important thing is to follow official advice.
