A son, whose father died of coronavirus, as a frontline worker, has dedicated his GCSE results to him. His father worked at Dewsbury and District Hospital in West Yorkshire as a doctor and died in April aged 46 years.
Dr. Nasir Khan answered the call of service when coronavirus started spreading in the UK and killing people. When the lockdown was put in place to keep everyone safe, he continued to carry out his duty in helping patients who had become infected with the virus to recover. Colleagues at his place of work at Dewsbury and District Hospital in West Yorkshire knew him as a hardworking man who was always willing to help.
