There's been a 25% increase in demand for a Lincolnshire end of life charity.

Normally, Marie Curie's 83 nurses would support more than 2, 250 people every year in the county.

Lauren Alexander Lee, a community fundraiser believes the increase is because people are scared to go to hospital.

They're particularly worried they'll have no visitors because of coronavirus.
