A young London nurse committed suicide after she was recently diagnosed with the coronavirus.
Daniela Trezzi, 34, decided to take her own life because she feared that she would spread the virus even more and cause others to become infected.
Trezzi worked at King College Hospital in South London while working in the intensive care unit.

Daniela Trezzi had been suffering “heavy stress” amid fears she was spreading the deadly bug while treating patients at the San Gerardo Hospital in Monza in the hard-hit region of Lombardy, the Daily Mail reported.
She was working in the intensive care unit while under quarantine after being diagnosed with COVID-19, according to the UK news site.
The National Federation of Nurses of Italy expressed its “pain and dismay” over Trezzi’s death, which came as the country’s mounting death toll surged with 743 additional fatalities Tuesday.
“Each of us has chosen this profession for good and, unfortunately, also for bad: we are nurses,” the federation said.
“The condition and stress to which our professionals are subjected is under the eyes of all,” it said, adding that “a similar episode had happened a week ago in Venice, with the same underlying reasons.”
Hospital general manager Mario Alparone said Trezzi had been at home sick since March 10 and that “she was not under surveillance.”
This is such a devastating story. It is sad to see that Trezzi took her own life because of this wide-spreading disease.
Let us please keep her family and friends in our prayers as they go through this shocking loss.
And now you’re officially in the KNOW!
