'I'll likely get coronavirus despite having PPE'

A junior doctor at a GP surgery says she expects to catch Covid-19, despite having enough personal protective equipment (PPE).

Jaz Seehra assesses patients with coronavirus symptoms and said it was "mostly likely" she would contract the disease. She said: "I probably will. Despite using adequate PPE at the moment, I'm surrounded by it."

Another doctor said she was concerned people with potentially serious illnesses were putting off seeing their GP, with her seeing fewer patients with cancer symptoms.
