Twin nurses from Southampton the latest victims of Covid-19

Tributes are being paid to twin sisters- both nurses- who have died after testing positive for coronavirus.

Katy Davis who was a children's nurse at University Hospital in Southampton city centre passed away on Tuesday evening. The 38-year-old did have underlying health problems and had been off work self isolating for some time with her sister Emma- who died last night (23/04).

Emma and Katy Davis. Twin sisters. Both nurses. Both clearly cared a great deal about helping others. Tragically, they both died of Covid-19.

The sisters were't working at Southampton General when they contracted the virus. They had been isolating at home.

Their mother said the staff that looked after them were incredible.

Peter Tun died from Coronavirus at the Royal Berkshire hospital

Peter Tun, meanwhile, was a Doctor for four decades. He died at the Royal Berkshire hospital after testing positive for coronavirus.

His family claim a lack of PPE (personal protective equipment) lead to his death. Emails shared to The Guardian newspaper suggest the 62-year-old warned managers of the situation.

Here's what one message said:

We contacted the Royal Berkshire Hospital for a statement:

They went on to say that the wards are regularly checked to make sure they're properly kitted-out.

Emma and Katy Davis join Dr Peter Tun in a growing list of frontline staff who've died of Covid-19. Each face a person dedicated to the health service across the south. Each face a reminder of the human tragedy of this terrible disease.
