Consultant Lee Allen and nurse manager Helen Paddon both work in critical care at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary and have treated the sickest patients for the last 12 months.

However, measures put in place to control the spread put their minds at ease.

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.
