TV star Griff Rhys Jones has praised the East of England Ambulance Service for its help in looking after his mother during the pandemic.
Mr Rhys Jones, who has lived in Suffolk for a number of years, praised the work of the service for helping his 96-year-old mother Gwyneth, who lives in a care home, who had recently required hospital stays following accidents. I just want to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you to everybody involved in the East of England Ambulance Service, said Mr Rhys Jones.
At least 222 frontline health and care workers have been identified after dying with coronavirus.
Through tributes from loved ones and confirmation through sources such as local NHS trusts and other authorities, the PA news agency has confirmed the names of health and social care workers who have died after contracting Covid-19 since March 11 2020.
This chronological list contains people who were working in roles shortly before their deaths where they were likely to come into contact with patients.
The figure is likely to be lower than the true number of workers who have died, as the names of some victims will not yet be in the public domain.
