She said: "I felt angry and thought come on people get a grip.
 

"I also pointed out that it would be better if they were walking and not just loitering, at least it could be classed as exercise. One of them I was told ‘had come up from Guildford to see us’

"Even when I told them that I work in the NHS it didn’t make any difference."

The NHS worker said she also spotted a young group of teenagers stood together and she was told 'we haven’t got it [Covid-19] and we don’t care’.

She added: "I was given the same response when I put a scenario to them, suggesting that they could have Covid-19 and if one of their parents worked as a carer for a vulnerable high-risk person, they could pass it on to and be responsible for more deaths."

There have been 2,921 coronavirus deaths in the UK and 33,718 positive cases.
