Jenny Latchford, who works for the bereavement support team at St Leonardâs Hospice in York A MEMBER of staff at York s St Leonard s Hospice has spoken about the added heartbreak faced by people after losing a loved one who they were unable to be with at the end due to the Covid restrictions. Jenny Latchford, who works for bereavement support team at St Leonard s, says they offer help to any adult in York who is grieving the loss of someone they love.
The number of deaths from coronavirus in York Teaching Hospital Trust since the start of the pandemic has risen to moreb than 500. The national death toll exceeds 100,000. The government’s handling of this crisis has been lamentable, but the Prime Minister claims it has done ‘everything possible’. This is an astonishing failure. We should remember:
the slow initial response, with full lockdown on March 23, seven weeks after the first cases (in York), and two weeks after the disease was ripping through Lombardy
acute shortages of PPE
abject failure of ‘world beating’ test, track, and trace
Johnson’s Spring promises to ‘send the virus packing’
