EXCLUSIVE: A London-based nurse has revealed her heartbreak as four colleagues are 'mugged at knife point' amid coronavirus outbreak, as she urges people to 'support each other'.
A London-based nurse, currently working on the frontline to tackle the coronavirus outbreak, has revealed her shock after four of her colleagues were mugged at knifepoint.
In the message, the unnamed nurse is warned to "be careful coming in and leaving work," after various staff members at the same hospital were mugged for their NHS ID badges. After sharing the shocking messages on her social media, the 30 year old NHS worker told OK! Online: "Thankfully I didn't experience any of these muggings first hand, and my thoughts go out to the four members of staff who did. It's awful.
She added: "At first I thought maybe the muggers wanted hand sanitisers or medication to be stealing things from the hospital, but on further thought I realised that it's probably low life people wanting the NHS discounts and the perks health workers are getting for continuing to work and continuing to go into a very dangerous environment."
"Going to work at the moment is terrifying," she said. "Every single shift we have no idea what we're going into or what we're going to be looking after that day.
