On BBC Radio 5 Live’s Your Call yesterday, Nicky Campbell took calls from care home workers, relatives of residents, doctors and other experts who have been working tirelessly in order to combat the spread of coronavirus.
During one heart-wrenching interview, a carer revealed she had to wear swimming goggles because of the absence of PPE. The heartbreaking stories and first-hand accounts tell a story of care homes in crisis, a general lack of adequate PPE and a "forgotten frontline" in the fight against coronavirus.
Speaking on yesterday’s Your Call, Nicky Campbell said: "I knew it was going to be shocking, I knew it was going to be upsetting, but I didn’t quite prepare myself for what I was going to hear." Jane, an independent living carer
