An Uber driver has died from Covid-19 after trying to hide his illness for fear that he would be evicted if his landlord found out, a friend has revealed. Jayaseelan is the third Uber driver confirmed to have died from Covid-19 in the capital, but there have been reports of several more. “He was a great person, very charming and full of life.”Ayub Akhtar died last week of complications relating to Covid-19. Shortly before he died, the hospital managed to contact Kumar, who arranged for a video call with his family. Jayaseelan died on 11 April.
