A yob spat in a hospital worker's face twice as she walked home after she had worked a ten-hour shift. Sama Shali, 33, was wearing her NHS lanyard on display at the time of the attack in which she fears the thug may have deliberately targeted her in a bid to spread the Covid-19 virus.
Sama, who works in medicine management at a specialist cancer hospital, said: “I am scared he might have had coronavirus and wanted to spread it. “Now I am scared that I could pass it on to my colleagues or patients. “We are short-staffed and I am scared of the impact it will have on my team if I become ill.” She was spat at after she left work at the The Christie Hospital in Manchester.
