It’s a time of great worry and anxiety for everyone at the moment, but it’s undoubtedly scarier for the amazing people working on the frontline of the COVID-19 pandemic.
One person who is busily working for the NHS is This Morning’s Dr Ranj Singh, who works as a paediatrician in London.
Here, having joined forces with singing stars Beverley Knight and Joss Stone to release a charity single for the NHS, the 40-year-old former Strictly Come Dancing contestant reveals what it’s really like to be on the front line, how all the NHS staff are helping each other out and why he thinks dancing is great therapy…
Firstly, thank you for all the work you’re doing for the country. How are you?
I work with children, and we don’t see a huge number of kids with COVID-19, which is a really good thing. But the problem is people are staying away from hospital because they’re worried, either that what they’ve got is the virus or that they might pick it up – or they’re worried about putting strain on the NHS.
Is that a big concern for you?
