Covid: The heart-warming reason people are adding blue hearts to Twitter names
PEOPLE in the North-East and across the country are adding blue hearts to their names on Twitter to show support for the NHS.
NHS millions, a group which supports the work of the NHS and is run by NHS staff, launched the initiative, alongside the hashtag #NHSBlueHeart as a way to show solidarity with healthcare workers.
Launching the initiative on Twitter, the group wrote: "We are devastated by the abuse NHS staff are getting on Twitter.
"Staff need your support now more than ever. If you stand with the NHS and its staff please you will help turn Twitter blue and pop an #NHSblueheart on your name on your profile.
