Distraught Lorna Hammond, a full-time carer from Coventry, was not able to visit her mum Penny Simson at the care home she died in today due to coronavirus restrictions

A woman was banned from visiting her now dead mum without supervision in her care home after giving her an ‘unauthorised’ cuddle.

Distraught Lorna Hammond was told her mum Penny Simson had just hours to live and rushed to her side to comfort her at Sovereign House care home.

But staff kicked the 46-year-old out after they caught her giving Penny, 74, who had Parkinson’s and dementia, a hug in her bed.

They told her that while visiting was allowed, any touching was banned due to restrictions around coronavirus.

The married mum-of-four was told to leave the home in Coventry immediately and later informed she could only see her mum in future for half an hour with supervision.
