Covid isolation rule breaker: 'I've lost my job and people have wished me dead'
A woman found guilty of breaking Jersey's coronavirus isolation rules says her crime has led to her losing her job, her reputation being damaged, and strangers wishing she was dead. 22-year-old Carys Ingram from Manchester was last month fined £6,000 for being out in public during a visit to friends and family in the island when she should have been isolating pending Covid-19 test results.
Those results did eventually all come back negative. Speaking exclusively to ITV News, Miss Ingram says the experience has taken its toll on her mental health, especially as a result of online messages from strangers.
Miss Ingram's friend Hristiana Tevana says she has witnessed the impact it has had on her.
Carys Ingram is now calling for a change in the law to protect the identities of people in her position.
She says employers only have to Google her name to find her story, making it difficult for her to find work after losing her job as a carer for people with brain injuries.
