NHS Nightingale hospitals in some of the worst affected regions in the North of England have been told by the government to get ready to start taking COVID-19 patients.

The National Medical Director for NHS England, Professor Stephen Powis, said that Harrogate, Sunderland and Manchester has been told to go on a “higher state of readiness”.

Government advisers said during a press conference this morning that admissions are rising.

During the live press conference, it was announced that more people are now in hospital with COVID than before restrictions were announced back in March.

England’s deputy chief medical officer said a “marked pick-up” in cases would inevitably lead to more deaths.

Prof Jonathan Van-Tam said: 

“Already, with the cases that we know about, we have baked in additional hospital admissions and sadly we also have baked in additional deaths that are now consequent upon infections that have already happened.”

Cases are rapidly rising across most of England, with the North West being the worst affected.

WE NEED YOUR HELP.Here at Emergency Services News, we aim to tell you stories that the mainstream media are not interested in reporting. Whilst the MSM love to berate and ridicule the emergency services, who is there to report on the realities of serving on the front line?

Emergency Services News is currently a loss-making entity. But our team of volunteers, all former emergency services personnel, do not do it for the money.

We do it because we are sick and tired of the mainstream media constantly trying to undermine the men and women who put their lives on the line to keep you and your family safe.

How many MSM journalists who speak ill of the emergency services have actually dared to don the uniform and risk their own lives to save the life of a complete stranger? If you would like to help back our mission of reporting on fact-based news, then please consider helping to support us financially.
