Nurse with long Covid urges people to use face masks

A nurse who spent 135 days in hospital with Covid-19 has urged people to continue wearing face masks after coronavirus restrictions are lifted in England.

Paula McCarten, who lives in Baildon, near Bradford, is a police custody nurse at Humberside Police but has been off work with long Covid.

She said the virus had left her "frightened" and she would "always" wear a mask from now on.
