Coronavirus UK: Number of people infected in hospitals Doubles

Almost half of all Coronavirus Patients in some hospitals are likely to have caught it while being treated there, new figures revealed.

The data show that the number of inpatients infected with the virus doubled after being hospitalized last month.

NHS According to figures, 18% of inpatients with coronavirus nationwide are believed to have been infected after being admitted to the ward.

This has increased from 9% in just one month.

The numbers include people who test positive at least 7 days after admission.

Sally’s Epsom and St. Hellier University Hospital NHS Trust recorded 44.6% of post-hospital patient infections, while the University Hospital Dawset NHS Foundation Trust recorded 44.4%.

At the NHS Foundation Trust at the University of Liverpool Hospital in the northwest, 271 patients were diagnosed with the virus during the week leading up to October 25.

Of these, 27% could have been infected after going to the hospital.

Jeremy Hunt, chairman of the Commons Health Special Committee, blamed the numbers.

He told The Daily Telegraph: ‘These are shocking numbers. Many died in the first wave after getting an infection in a hospital or long-term care facility.

“We seem to have learned lessons at the care home, but we still don’t do weekly tests on hospital staff. Making the same mistake twice would be defensive.”

The Commission has long called for the introduction of weekly tests of NHS staff, including those who show no symptoms.

They emphasize that identifying asymptomatic staff can prevent the spread of the virus in hospitals.

Jeremy Hunt, chairman of the Commons Health Select Committee, blamed the numbers and demanded further testing.

A spokesperson for the NHS said:

“By following the guidance of the hands, face and space, it is more important than ever to do what everyone can do to reduce the risk of spreading the virus.”

The UK NHS hospital is treating more than 9,000 coronavirus patients, but only after it has been suggested that this time period looks quieter than usual.

According to the leaked document, 84% of all beds were occupied nationwide yesterday. This is lower than the 92% recorded last fall.

When Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced a second blockade and return to the tagline on Saturday, he rolled back Britain and said, “I’m at home, protecting the NHS and saving lives.”

However, the 84% figure revealed by the Health Service Journal suggests that overall healthcare services are not as burdensome as the authorities suggest.

Bed occupancy has averaged no less than 85% over the last three months of the last decade.

Even when the first wave of coronavirus peaked in the UK, Covid-19 patients did not account for more than 30% of all inpatients, and tens of thousands of vacant beds were no longer used during the spring. ..

This year’s hospital bed occupancy is the lowest in 10 years when healthcare professionals had to kill thousands of inpatients to make room for the expected surge of Covid-19 people. I fell in.Now that normal care has resumed, leaked reports suggest that the number of beds in use is still below average.

The only exception to this was 64% as hospitals were forced to expel thousands of non-Covid patients to create space for the epidemic between April and June of this year. ..

Regional differences in coronavirus outbreaks mean that some areas are more tense than others. The trust of one of Liverpool’s major hospitals has already treated more Covid-19 patients than in the spring.

Authorities repeatedly compare it to the spring situation as a shorthand of the crisis, but do not explain how busy the hospital really is.

Tens of thousands of beds will be depleted during the peak of the first wave of Covid-19, authorities and authorities say the hospital’s “available capacity” is about 20,000, and room may run out by next month Prompted a surprising warning that there is.

Also, according to coronavirus data across the United Kingdom, the number of people hospitalized for the disease fell for the first time in a month on Sunday, dropping from 9,213 to 9,077.

The Ministry of Health figures showed a 12.5% ​​decrease in cases from last Tuesday when the numbers reached 22,885, but higher than yesterday’s numbers when the numbers reached 18,950.

Deaths increased 8.17 percent from last Tuesday after an additional 395 people were announced to have died from the virus today-the country’s total death toll reached 47,250.

With the UK recording a 12.5% ​​decrease in the number of people tested positive, signs that the second wave coronavirus could turn around began to appear today.

According to Ministry of Health statistics, which were initially delayed, an additional 20,018 people tested positive for the virus today, bringing the total number of cases confirmed during the pandemic to 1,073,882.

Meanwhile, deaths have risen 8.17% since last Tuesday, bringing the total death toll to 47,250, after an additional 395 were announced today to have died from the virus.

The latest death toll shows an increase from yesterday, when 136 deaths were recorded in the UK, higher than last Tuesday when the death toll reached 367.

Do all the setting figures that cover the cases of care homes, hospitals, and the wider community across the home country now question? Government hierarchy restrictions had already begun to affect the country’s transmission speed before the announcement of the second blockade.
