A union has marked the third anniversary of the death of a railway worker who was one of the first frontline staff to die from Covid.
Belly Mujinga, 47, said she was coughed and spat on at work at London Victoria station and died in April 2020.
At the time there was no vaccine and PPE was not always readily available.
The Transport Salaried Staffs Association (TSSA) paid tribute to her as it called for "more focus" on health and safety for all workers.
The married mother-of-one was working as a sales clerk at the station on 21 March 2020 when she was allegedly spat at by someone who claimed to have the virus.
"Nothing can bring her back, but she lives on in the memory of those who knew her or who learnt her story," Marios Alexandrou, the TSSA's interim president, said.
"While we remember Belly today, our union continues to fight for safe and healthy workplaces for all of our members."
Ms Mujinga, who had underlying health issues that her family said placed her in the "vulnerable" category, was one of the first frontline workers to die from the virus.
