27. In February, he said, he had a temperature of 102. 6F (39. 2C), and it took an hour-and-a-half to 111. "I just said, 'I can't see, you had your call, you're on The List ," he said.

Mr hall, Basingstoke, said his company provides IT support for the military, and on 20 and 21 February, he was just 30. Signal Regiment in Nuneaton, Warwickshire.

"If you had just called, on your own, you would again not work, if you may, it should. Or maybe I would have, and the other advising," Mrs Timms said.

'Moral duty'

The nurse said that you will lose faces about £2,000 of Agency work, while in self-isolation, but She Said the risks interested with older people they are too large, not to be careful.

"I feel a moral obligation," She Said . "If, God Forbid , something happens, people will say that the nurse came from the North of Italy, and now she's responsible for a load of deaths. "
