Matt Hancock last night offered care workers lacking protective kit a “badge of honour”.
The Health Secretary said it would let them “publicly identify themselves” as NHS staff do.
But the GMB union said: “Care workers need more than a badge to define their precious role in society.” And one carer at a nursing home group where 11 have died said they are so short of protection that staff fear for their lives. She begged: “Help us, please.”
The UK death toll yesterday rose by 761 to 12,868. Nurse Mary Agyeiwaa Agyapong, 28, left, died after giving birth. Her daughter survived.
