The health care workers thrust into the front line of the current virus crisis, risking their lives to save others.

While we've been on air news coming off 1/15 N hs worker who is dead and died, the death was announced today as off a doctor who specialized in elderly.

Here are the faces of 10 of those who have lost their lives.

They include nurse Thomas Harvey, who was 57 on Lived in East London.

His family says they feel that despite devoting his life to helping others, the care that he needed was simply not available to him.

Our chief correspondent, Alex Thompson, has this report larger than life, a phrase built for Thomas Harvey, a family man, as the photographs say, with silence yet eloquence on n HS Man A nurse For more than two decades, Thomas Harvey died alone, self isolating four attempts to hospitalize him refuse by the National Health Service he had served for so long.

He leaves his wife, Marcia, bereft and angry.

I'm trying to hold on from our kids, but it's it's very hard knowing that you know if if we had gotten the help that we needed, he would still be alive today.

But they feel loss N hs feelers working for them for over 20 years.

They feel those happier days working over Christmas.

Even on Christmas Day, Thomas Harvey would put his patients first.

He really pushed himself forward to go to work on those days, so we would always open gifts at 3 p.m. Or whenever he got home.

His excuse was like, You know, we have each other as a family on Christmas but his patients, sometimes by themselves.

So he wanted to make sure that they also had, you know, someone to be with around holidays.

Thomas Fairly laughter treating a patient.

A good maze hospital in Ilford who subsequently tested positive.

I've never heard breathing like that before.

It wasn't normal breathing.

Imagine an engine tryingto get started, but they collapsed every time you inhale.

You know, that's what that's what it sounds like.

It just wasn't normal.

The family couldn't believe the man who'd barely ever missed a day's work for illness was failing again and again, they bait for him to be taken to hospital.

The first time we called, they said to self isolate on to refer to an interest Web site.

The second time we called.

That's when the ambulance came.

But they said that his case wasn't bad enough for him to be taken.

In the third time we called.

They said to refer to any chest website.

We called one more time after that as well, and we were told again to refer to the N.

H s website four times we called four times self isolating in the front room.

He staggered into the toilet during the night and collapsed.

I broke up, obviously to my mom and my sister screaming And yes, so he had, like, collapse behind the toilet door, which opens from the inside.

That's when I had to, like, punch through and start ripping the door open so I could climb in.

But like that, I thought the week before the breathing was bad.

But the noises about I thought he was making at that point was just, like insane on DDE.

Um, yeah, so bye then.

Three ambulance had just arrived with the police, but, you know, it was to date seen here with his siblings.

The family wonders why Thomas apparently had no P p e protection when working.

A former colleague confirms that to US Good Maize Hospital said no patients were exhibiting symptoms.

Of course, one subsequently did after Thomas Harvey fell ill, his family say.

The paramedics said their father was suffering from Corona virus, but with patchy testing of N HS staff.

No one knows for sure, and they still await a test even after his death.

Who do you have to be to get the test?

Because we've been seeing loads of celebrities post with no symptoms getting test?

We've been seeing loads of politicians, but yet we aren't seeing an extra staff getting with tested for it.

We aren't seeing people with severe symptoms get tested for it.

My dad died over a week ago, and we're still waiting for him to get the test.

One person, one life Thomas Harvey gave so very much he got so very little bank when it mattered most.

I think all of us wanted him to see us do and achieve, and it just was like has been snatched away from us.

He was a greed or good, great great guy.

I'm missing so, so much ominously Thomas Harvey, a symbol of N HS service in life on emblem of its failings in death, well, tributes have been paid to a highly regarded heart surgeon who has died after contracting covert 19 in Wales.

Jitender Rathod, her father, too, was described as a very compassionate, wonderful human being.

He died in the intensive care unit at the University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff on Monday.

Our home affairs correspondent Andy Davis joins us now from Cardiff.

Andy staff were informed last night that one of their colleagues had died in the early hours of yesterday morning, having previously tested positive for Corona virus and that he died here.

The University Hospital of Wales, the very hospital of course to which he devoted so much of his career.

Jitender Rutherford was in his early sixties.

He had two Children.

He was a cardio thoracic surgeon known as jittery to his friends, and he'd worked for the Health Board on and off for around 30 years.

I understand that he'd be in self isolating for a lot of the last month and that he hadn't been working at the hospital prior to his admission, the first Minister of Whales Mark Drakeford said this was desperately sad news and described him as a very highly regarded doctor.

The chief executive of the health trust said he was devastated by what had happened on early this afternoon.

He had this to say about the surgeon.

He was a much loved colleague.

He was one of those colleagues that everybody talks very positively about.

I've had texts and messages sent to me over the course of the last year and in all of them.

It's about how much people really liked him, felt supported by him, and he was one of the pillars in the organization.

So a real loss towards here within Cardiff from Bill Len Richards went on to say that they had around 100 and 60 patients at this and another of their hospitals have tested positive for Corona virus, a minority of whom are in intensive care and that roughly the numbers they're seeing a doubling every 4 to 5 days.

But currently their capacity is good and that they're coping well.

What's the latest on testing in Wales?

Handy, A new drive in test center opened in Cardiff today by appointment only for social care workers, police in prison staff.

They're going to be opening another three such centers across Wales in the next two weeks.

On average, about 200 test per day at each center on all of this part of the world.

Governments Dr Thio, increase their testing capacity from 1100 today to around 4000 day over the next two weeks.

That, at least, is Thea ambition of the Welsh government.

Andy Davis.

Well, joining me now from a hospital in East Anglia is Daniel a liar, a locum doctor currently working in a covert unit attached to an accident and emergency department.

And Daniel, I can see your surrounded by colleagues as well.

If any of them would like to add to what you're saying would be delighted to hear from them as well.

I mean, we just heard too heartbreaking stories of n hs professionals.

Well, what is the situation with your unit?

Do you have a ll the protective equipment on the testing that you need?

I think it's a tough one.

It really, really is a tough one.

We're here.

We're trying to keep positive.

We're trying to focus on the patients That's my number one to go.

But of course, you know what we were thinking about peopie?

We think about the testing.

I can only speak for myself and everyone's individuals.

But if everyone on here was tested, I'm sure you know the results.

He wouldn't surprise us and it would be able to react and respond to these results.

Would have confidence to say that No, I shouldn't be here or Yes, I'm okay.

Toe work.

I'm OK to be close by in proximity to patients.

I'm not giving it to my colleagues.

I'm not giving it to the around me.

We do need testing.

That's you know, there's no doubt about that and we need it faster.

We do know that, you know, some tests have been rolled out, but it's just about speed, you know, and we support our government.

We know they're trying to best, but we're just trying to give them an extra, you know, pushed to say, Come on, let's let's move on this new bit faster.

The next thing is, is pee pee again.

You know, we do have some peopIe.

We do have some measures to stop the infection to start affecting us and are the people of thinking other people.

But we want the best.

You won't want the best.

And right now we're not getting the best and that's that's wait.

It's what you guys think.

No, I think that I think it's a scary time for everybody.

And I think this is something that it's affecting doctors, health care professionals, on a global level, in terms of like the support that we've got from everybody, and the encouragement that we're receiving is it's truly humbling.

And I think that in the hospital, the vibe is also very sort of looking out for each other, looking out for other health care professionals and making sure that everyone is wearing the correct equipment and working together.

So currently at the Cova Juna alongside Daniel and I think it's always quite nerve racking when you're seeing a patient who's suspected covert or tested positive for cover it.

But I think that most important thing is just to stay positive, be sensible toe, wear your proper people, the equipment and I think just to fulfill your role as a za health care worker and I think that they support the getting from everybody has allowed us to do that and it's just a matter of pacing ourselves and trying.

Thio, stay calm amongst the storm, which I think that as as a whole hospital, as a unit where we're doing quite well, I'd say, What what What is that?

You know the situation on capacity.

The government keeps saying at the moment capacity is greater than the number of patients coming in.

Is that your experience where you are?

So I mean, it depends where you are.

Different places have different levels of covert around.

We can't we can't compare stops.

There's something more busier places.

But right now I was personally, you know, we do have capacity to to see patients and you know why?

Perhaps the measures that the government had taken and that we've taken to stay home are trickling through because we do have capacity.

And perhaps that curve has been flattened because we can.

We are dealing with the patients coming through.

Absolutely.

I think the measures, just as I was saying that have been taken and you can actually see that when you are working at A and A and it's it's good to know that the general public are really sort of doing their best to try and control and maintain this pandemic as best as they can on how easy is it for professionals to distance yourselves from each other?

I mean, obviously, you're all crowded around the computer screen right now.

I mean, is distancing something you're able to do in hospital.

I mean, it is the rule and the guidelines, but we gotta be realistic if way crowded around patient doing CPR.

If we're close to a patient, if we around a computer, you know, we're gonna try our best.

Gonna try best way, our social distancing here you probably can't see on the screen.

But, you know, we are trying our best, but we gotta be realistic.

You know, being in a hospital working close proximity is we have to be realistic.

That's all you can say about social distancing.
