Dr Habib Zaidi
A “well-respected and loved GP”, Dr Habib Zaidi died in intensive care at Southend Hospital in Essex after showing “textbook symptoms” and starting treatment for a suspected coronavirus infection. He was the first doctor in the UK to die after contracting the virus.
“For that to be the thing that took him is too much to bear. It is reflective of his sacrifice. He had a vocational attitude to service.”
“He left a gaping hole in our hearts, but a loss that is also felt within the community that he devoted almost his entire life to.” His daughter commented on his passing away.
Dr Amged El-Hawrani
Dr Adil El Tayar became the first working NHS surgeon to die from COVID-19 in the UK. After graduating in 1992 from the University of Khartoum, Sudan, he moved to the UK in 1996 to continue his studies. Dr El Tayar worked as an organ transplant surgeon at St George’s Hospital, Tooting, before moving to Saudi Arabia in 2007, working for three years in Jeddah. In 2011, Dr El Tayar moved back to his native Sudan to help establish a transplant program and worked at the Ibn Sina Hospital, Khartoum. He passed away at West Middlesex University Hospital in Isleworth, West London.
Dr Amged El-Hawrani
Dr Amged El-Hawrani was a frontline ENT (ear, nose, and throat) consultant at the University Hospitals of Derby and Burton. He became one of the first senior medics to die from coronavirus.

Man arrested with Rs 2.54-crore heroin in Mumbai
Mumbai (PTI): Police have arrested a man and seized over 500 grams of heroin worth Rs 2.54 crore in the illicit market from him in Mumbai, officials said on Friday.
The police's Anti-Narcotics Cell (ANC) made the drug seizure in Santacruz in the western suburbs. The operation was conducted by the Kandivali unit of the ANC on Thursday as part of a special crackdown against drug trafficking in the area, they said.
Acting on specific inputs, an ANC team conducted a raid in Santacruz (East) and intercepted a man. During a search, the team recovered 508 grams of high-grade heroin from his possession, an official said.
The seized contraband, a highly addictive, opioid drug derived from morphine, is estimated to be worth Rs 2.54 crore in the international market, he informed.
Following the seizure, a case was registered against the man under relevant sections of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, 1985, and he was formally placed under arrest in the early hours of Friday.
The police are currently investigating the source of the drug and trying to identify the intended recipients of the consignment, he said.
