In one of countless displays of humanity from healthcare workers during the coronavirus pandemic, staff at the Acute Assessment Unit (AAU) in Kingston Hospital transformed the ward into a makeshift chapel so that Benny Khaw and Julia Cox could wed. Benny and Julia met and fell in love playing badminton, 25 years ago and had been considering a wedding ever since, a Kingston Hospital spokesperson who described the event said.
