cleaners, the NHS heroes and bus drivers, who had sadly died by coronavirus at
11 am today. #restaurants #hotel #brentlinenhire @brentlinen
More than 100 NHS and social care workers have
lost their lives. Workers in other key sectors such as transport are also among
those who have died while carrying out their vital work during the pandemic.
Boris Johnson the PM tweeted: 'This morning I took
part in a minute's silence to remember those workers who have tragically died
in the coronavirus pandemic. The nation will not forget you.'
The Society of Occupational Medicine, whose members
include more than 1,700 doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, occupational
therapists and technicians, has said the goal should be zero work-caused
fatalities.
It is calling for the government to prevent any
further work-related deaths and for employers to carry out risk assessments so
people can safely return to their jobs whenever the lockdown is eased.
Following is the Covid-19 Cases today:
Confirmed UK cases: 157,149
New cases: 4,310
UK deaths: 21,092
England: 112,467
Scotland: 10,521
Wales: 9,280
NI: 3,374
Dame Donna said: "This moment will bring
together a sombre but grateful nation. Whether in nursing or driving buses, our
heroes kept going to work when many had the luxury of staying at home. Nobody
should go out to work and risk their life.
"This must not be the last time that sacrifice is
recognised. The country and its leaders owes a tremendous debt to these key
workers and the many more who are on shift again today."
