Paramedic Ditches Home for Camper Van to Beat COVID Isolation

Frontline Hero Takes Extreme Step

Danny Hughes, a paramedic with South East Coast Ambulance Service (SECAmb), isn’t letting self-isolation rules slow him down. When a household member had to isolate due to coronavirus, Danny made a bold move — he packed up and moved into a camper van.

Beating the 14-Day Isolation Rule

To avoid being sidelined for two weeks, Danny chose to live separately from his family. This way, he can continue clocking in on the frontline, serving the public and backing up his colleagues when paramedics are desperately needed.

True Commitment in Tough Times
