A 24-year-old nursing assistant has become the latest healthcare worker to die after treating coronavirus patients.
John Alagos, who was from the Philippines, became ill and died on Friday after working at Watford General Hospital in Hertfordshire.
His mother Gina Gustilo told the BBC the family were waiting to hear whether he had tested positive for Covid-19.
Tracey Carter, chief nurse at the hospital, said: "John was very popular and will be missed greatly by his colleagues."
Mrs Gustilo, who is an NHS mental health nurse and lived with her son, said she had shown no symptoms of the virus.
However, she said she had been tested, was waiting for results and was self isolating.
