The son of a selfless paramedic who lost his life after he was diagnosed with coronavirus has paid tribute to his “humble” father.

Gerallt Davies, an MBE recipient for his service to the NHS, was admitted to an intensive care unit last week.

After the 51-year-old’s condition began to deteriorate on Sunday, his son Johnny was called on Monday with the news his family had dreaded.

Speaking to ITV News, he said his father was so passionate about helping people that he carried on working despite knowing the risks of catching the virus himself.
