Fri, 03rd Apr 2020 17:31

LONDON, April 3 (Reuters) - England's chief nurse Ruth May
made an impassioned plea to Britons at the government's daily
news conference on Friday to stay at home over the coming
weekend and invoking the names of nurses who have died.

"This weekend is going to be very warm and it will be very
tempting to go out and enjoy those summer rays," May said.

"But please, I ask you to remember Aimee and Areema. Please
stay at home for them," she said, referring to National Health
Service nurses Aimee O'Rourke, 39, and Areema Nasreen, 36, who
died after testing positive for COVID-19.
