Health workers say they are as scared about the surge in coronavirus now as they were back in March when the disease first hit.
As the number of cases in the UK continues to rise, frontline care staff say they are stretched, exhausted and scared of what a second wave might bring. "It's scary," said Simon Walls, a clinical lead at Saint Cecilia's Nursing Home in Scarborough, North Yorks, which lost ten residents in the space of two weeks during the first spike earlier this year.
One major concern for staff is a lack of reliable testing. Those cared for at the home are tested for the virus every 28 days, with staff tested weekly.
