A court hears a nurse who died with Covid came into contact with patients who later tested positive.

A nurse who died with Covid had close contact with patients with the virus before her death, an inquest has heard.

Jane Linton said Ms David would "definitely" have had contact with patients who later tested positive. In a statement heard by the court, Ms David's niece Judith Juan said her aunt was born in the Philippines and moved to Wales in 2004.She added she was a "homebody, who liked to spend time watching sports on TV and who liked to cook for her closest friends".

Ms Linton also described how Ms David was sent home from that day and rang her boss a few days later to say she was feeling unwell. The hearing was told Ms David took medication for hypertension and had a history of prediabetes, meaning her blood sugar was higher than normal, but her GP said she was "otherwise fit and well".
