Family heartbreak at care home Covid restrictions

Alfie Joey

Available for over a year

While most of us are living our lives without almost any Covid restrictions - that's not true of many people living in carehomes. 27 year old Victoria Pegg from Morpeth in Northumberland adores her granddad - 88 year old Jim Pegg- but for weeks now she's only been able to see him through a screen via an intercom. Our Northumberland reporter Jo Lonsdale popped along to see her as she prepared for her weekly visit.
