Two cleaners from the same south London hospital have died after contracting coronavirus, according to reports. Salih Hasan and Fyngs Mullings both worked at St George's Hospital in Totting for the private cleaning giant Mitie.
Their deaths again raise the issue of increased risk run by low-paid front line workers. The firm confirmed two of the cleaners died from the killer bug, while a third unnamed employee, who is also believed to have died from Covid-19, is yet to be confirmed.
They worked as part of the cleaning team looking after wards and corridors at the hospital. When asked if the deaths were related to coronavirus, St George's said they could not confirm cause of deaths at this time.
