Due to the coronavirus pandemic, doctors and nurses have been putting themselves at risk in order to treat the ill.

This means they are more likely to contract the virus than those who can stay home.

As well as medical staff, key workers such as drivers, supermarket staff and warehouse workers are also at risk.

Sadly, Tom isn’t the only person Lisa knows who has the virus.

Lisa’s Corrie so-star Simon Gregson, who plays Steve McDonald, also contracted the virus.

Last week, Simon revealed he had ‘gastric’ symptoms of the deadly bug.

As a thank you to the NHS, Simon donated his classic bike and car to workers who needed the transport.

Other celebrities and public figures who have contracted the virus include Prime Minister Boris Johnson, Prince Charles, Linda Lusardi and former Emmerdale star John Bowe.
