A nurse has described the moment she rushed to help a terrified elderly man who 'feared he coronavirus' and hadn't eaten for more than a week while in isolation.

Lucy Duncan, 24, was driving home from a 12-hour shift at Wigan Infirmary when a car bumped into hers. She followed the vehicle around the corner until it came to a stop in the middle of the road near Warrington Road in Abram.

Lucy got out of her car and walked over before seeing the driver was an elderly man. The man, 73, opened his door and grabbed her arm in desperation, before telling her he feared he had coronavirus.
