An ongoing surge in serious Covid-19 illness means hospitals could have more patients with the disease in two weeks’ time than at the peak of the pandemic, NHS leaders are warning.
Hospitals in England were treating 10,971 inpatients with Covid on Tuesday. NHS England pointed out that this was more than half of the 18,970 such cases that hospitals had on 12 April when the disease was at its most destructive.
