On shift at the hospital during Covid.

Stefan: "We don't know how much risk we're putting each other in, or the patients, or family back home as well. I live with my parents, who are obviously black, and they've got underlying health issues too. They're 65, 66, so they're getting into the vulnerable ages. It was a concern for me, because I knew I was a high risk of bringing things back home. That was my worst fear of the whole thing - it wasn't really too much about myself, due to my age and stuff, but for my parents."
