UK-First doctor dies from Covid-19 after returning from retirement

A doctor who returned from retirement to help coronavirus patients has died after becoming infected with the disease

According to the Independent Dr Alfa Saadu, originally from Nigeria, died on Tuesday. His son, Dani, wrote that: “The NHS were amazing and did everything they could” during the two weeks his father had been ill.

Describing Dr Saadu as “a legend”, he said he had worked for the NHS for nearly 40 years, in the UK and Africa.

“Up until he got sick, he was still working part-time saving people,” he wrote.

Dani Saadu added a plea: “The coronavirus is not a joke, please take it seriously and listen to the government. Please stay safe and protect your loved ones – nothing is more important.”
