UK NHS workers are preparing to take legal action against the British government for failing to protect them during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Long Covid Doctors for Action has commissioned Bond Turner solicitors to look at launching legal proceedings for healthcare workers who suffered injury as a result of contracting COVID-19 at work.
In the first few months of the Covid pandemic in 2020, nurses, doctors and healthcare workers were regularly forced to improvise their own protective equipment.
Items such as bin bags, cloth masks, rain ponchos and even diving masks were fashioned together by healthcare workers to try to protect themselves from the novel SARS-CoV-2 virus.
