Covid-19 update (27 October)

Moving forward, we will move this update from daily to weekly.

In the past 24 hours, we have seen another rise in admissions with those who are positive for Covid-19, however we have also been able to discharge a number of patients. In addition some of the patients who had previously tested positive for Covid-19 are now negative. As a result the overall position remains similar to that of the past few days without much movement.

As we don’t expect the current challenges to improve quickly, we will transition this update to a weekly one, rather than a daily one, similar to what we did during the first-wave, letting you know any significant developments or achievements in the meantime.

With the above in mind, we must highlight that our hospitals remain in a very challenging position and colleagues are working incredibly hard to look after those in our care. Please continue to offer your support, please continue to adhere to the relevant guidance where you live and please remember hands, face and space.
Throughout this year we have depended on the kind words and support you have shown our colleagues, so please continue to comment and cheer on our health heroes.

Thank you, continue to protect the vulnerable amongst us, help us flatten the curve and together we will save lives.
