Kevin Hughes, who was 63, had been admitted to intensive care in December after testing positive for the virus. As a result of being hospitalised he was unable to attend the funeral of his mother, June Margaret Hughes, 89, who also died from the virus. At that time he delivered a passionate appeal from his hospital bed to people to observe social distancing during the Christmas and New Year periods.
