Misinformation around coronavirus has been slammed by those working on the front line.
Frontline NHS staff who have spent nearly a year treating the north-east’s sickest Covid-19 patients say they are “angry” over the spread of false information about the disease.
Consultant Lee Allen and nurse manager Helen Paddon work in critical care at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary, where only the most severely ill patients are treated for the virus.
Since the pandemic took hold early last year, they and other workers have seen first-hand the damage coronavirus can do.
On some occasions, they have treated their own colleagues, and the number of people in hospital during January rose to nearly 150% of last spring’s peak.
