A woman has become the first hospital cleaner in the UK to die from the coronavirus as the NHS death toll continues to spiral past 80.
Joanna Klenczon, 34, had worked at Northampton General Hospital for 10 years before testing positive for Covid-19 earlier this month.
Ms Klenczon, a domestic supervisor who managed cleaning teams, is believed to be the first cleaner to die from the killer disease.
Paying tribute to her, a spokesman for the NGH NHS Trust said she was “well-liked and respected by everyone she worked with”.
