Belly Mujinga worked for the Southern Railway, a British railway company. She died in early April of the coronavirus, at the age of 47.
What challenges in its history are the circumstances of its contamination.
Colleagues and relatives say she was at her job when she was spit on by someone claiming to be infected.
Belly and his colleague “were in the hall next to the counter, when they were attacked by a user who spit on them“said the TSSA union in a statement.”A man coughed on them and told them he had the virus. “
“No masks, no gloves“
A few days later, Ms. Mujinga’s doctor prescribed sick leave, noting that she was suffering from preexisting respiratory problems, added TSSA.
But his state of health has deteriorated. She was hospitalized, placed in intensive care. But the doctors could not save her.
Her husband is angry with the British railway company.
Police and Boris Johnson reactions
In a statement, the UK transport police said they had opened a investigation and called for witnesses as TSSA asked the rail regulator to investigate the events.
Union general secretary Manuel Cortes has asked that the families of all workers in the area killed by Covid-19 disease be given a compensation government, as is already the case for caregivers.
“It is despicable to attack a key worker who serves travelers“Reacted a spokesperson for Prime Minister Boris Johnson.”Our thoughts are with Ms. Mujinga’s family in this ordeal.“
