Welsh rugby star Jamie Roberts has offered his Pontcanna flat to NHS staff who need it.
The juggernaut centre, who has played 94 times for Wales, is currently in South Africa playing for Cape Town-based Super Rugby franchise the Stormers.
Roberts, a qualified doctor, had intended to return home in the near future to renew his visa. But if he had left South Africa earlier this week, he would not have been allowed back in due to travel bans being imposed.
Instead, Roberts has stayed in Cape Town for now.
He owns a two-bed flat in Pontcanna, Cardiff which is currently not occupied and has offered the property to NHS staff who may need to use it.
The flat is just a short drive away from the University Hospital of Wales, one of the largest and busiest hospitals in Wales.
Whilst being a generous offer from Roberts, it also serves a genuine purpose.
Being on the frontline, NHS staff are at risk of contracting the coronavirus and then risk spreading it to family members when they return home from work.
The flat would allow members of staff to self-isolate, safe in the knowledge that they would not be putting their loved ones at risk.
"I've had a few AirBnB cancellations and the flat is free for the next three weeks," Roberts told WalesOnline.
"I understand some frontline NHS staff need to self-isolate between work and their families.
"So instead of the flat staying empty, if it can help any of the staff achieve this in any way and make things easier, then I would love to help."
Roberts asked anyone who could use the flat to contact him on social media.
