Love Island star Dr Alex George admitted he’s upset by deaths from coronavirus during his A&E shift on Monday evening.
The 29-year-old, who is currently working on the NHS frontline, opened up about life on a busy hospital ward, confessing he found the rising death toll “tough”.
Speaking on Sky News, he opened up about the current challenging climate and explained the worst is yet to come.
But despite the uphill struggle, he explained the NHS are resilient and nurses and doctors are doing everything they can.
“Yesterday’s shift was a particularly busy one,” he told Sky’s Kay Burley.

“We had quite a few patients who were really quite unwell from coronavirus.
“Unfortunately, a few deaths as well which is always tough.
“We’re seeing the department is getting more and more cases of coronavirus and we’re expecting that to continue over the next few weeks. I think the peak is still to come.”

He continued: “We saw a huge number of cases, particularly very unwell cases. What shocks us sometimes is that of course, we’re seeing a very skewed part of the population. We’re seeing a small percentage very unwell, 90 percent are recovering in their own homes.
“But we are seeing young people who are very unwell with it and that can be very challenging. We’re only human.
“There are young patients, who don’t have underlying conditions. It’s very upsetting for the patient and for us as well.

“Of course I would say that is a rarity, most people who are fit and well will recover from mild to moderate symptoms, but there is no guarantee of that.”
He added that over “20 or 30 coronavirus cases ended up in intensive care,” and while there have been scares in the department they “haven’t run out of resources”.
