Unfortunately in the past 24 hours we have seen another rise in patients admitted to our hospitals, having tested positive for Covid-19. We are now caring for an additional eight people bringing the total to 18 (16 at Doncaster Royal Infirmary and two at Bassetlaw Hospital). Of these patients, two require ventilation, and we wish them all the very best in their recovery.
To lend some perspective, as well to look to the positives as we always try to do, in context to earlier this year, these are still relatively low numbers, however we do need to remain vigilant as a community and continue to place an emphasis on hands, face and space. As we shared earlier today, Bassetlaw and Doncaster have some of the lowest rates of infection in South Yorkshire and North Nottinghamshire and we want it to remain that way.
Keep doing what you’re doing, shield the vulnerable and help us kick this unwanted visitor out of our towns – with your continued support, we know it won’t take us too long to do so.
