A hospital worker who contracted Covid-19 told a friend "porters like me...do not have PPE" in a final text before his death.
Peter Gough shared his concerns in a series of messages before his death on May 12. The 56-year-old worked as an administration assistant at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford, Oxfordshire and was known as a "gentle giant" among pals.
Paul Saville, 53, had been friends with Mr Gough for 25 years and exchanged a number of texts about his work and the pandemic.
He has since said his friend was certain the hospital was the only place he could have caught Covid-19 and called his death a "scandal".
