The doctor took to social media to ask Mr Johnson for more protective equipment for ‘each and every NHS worker in the UK’.

He added that healthcare workers ‘are in direct contact with patients and have a human right like others to live in this world disease-free with our family and children’.

Such tragic news, our thoughts are with his family at this difficult time.
