An inquest will held into the death of Belly Mujinga, the railway worker who died with Covid-19 after an alleged incident where she was coughed on and spat at by a customer.
Mujinga, 47, died last April, two weeks after the alleged incident on the concourse at London’s Victoria station where she worked as a sales clerk for Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR).
The senior coroner Andrew Walker has decided there needs to be an inquest into Mujinga’s death, which her family has campaigned for, as her death may have been “unnatural”.
He said there were concerns about the provision of PPE and her deployment at Victoria. Two other employees also became unwell while working at the station, one of whom died from a Covid-19 infection, Walker told a hearing at north London coroner’s court.
