Plasencia, Spain, Apr 15, 2020 / 08:47 am
Sister Isabel García is a Josephine of the Most Holy Trinity religious sister who, until recently, was teaching primary school and high school students in Plasencia, in west central Spain.
But on March 16, Spain shut down schools – including Most Holy Trinity school, where she worked – as the COVID-19 outbreak started taking a heavy toll on the country.
Two weeks later, García read in the newspaper that some residents and workers at the local Virgen del Puerto nursing home had tested positive for the coronavirus and that management was having a hard time finding new workers.
So, she told hoy.es, she decided to start helping out at the facility, which houses more than 80 elderly people.
