Reigning Miss England sets aside crown, returns to the frontline as doctor

Miss England 2019 Bhasha Mukherjee is giving up her crown to return to the frontline amid the 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic.

Last year, while competing in the Miss World pageant, the reigning beauty queen reportedly stepped away from her post as a junior doctor in the medical field, and shortly after, started doing charity work which was set to go on until later this year.

But now that her home country faces the COVID-19 crisis, she returned to Pilgrim Hospital in the UK to aid her fellow health care workers amid the pandemic.

According to reports, Bhasha has returned to the country on Wednesday, April 1, from overseas charity work and will return to the medical field after her 14-day self-isolation.

As of Monday, the UK had recorded more than 48,000 cases of the novel coronavirus and nearly 5,000 deaths, according to figures from Johns Hopkins University.
