READERS have had their say after a hospital worker called for a day of remembrance dedicated to those who lost their lives due to Covid-19.
Gemma Humes, who works at Furness General Hospital, said she was saddened to see first-hand how families were not able to see loved ones receiving treatment for the virus before their deaths.
Now she is urging the Government to consider a memorial day on March 23 every year to remember those who died from the virus, just as Remembrance Sunday commemorates fallen soldiers.
Miss Humes, 35, has written to Furness MP Simon Fell to campaign for the day and received his support.
