Hospitals in England are hurtling towards having 20,000 coronavirus patients who need NHS treatment on New Year s Eve, according to dire projections that will bolster calls for No10 to introduce another draconian lockdown in 2021.
Department of Health statistics show 18,227 Covid-infected patients were being cared for in hospitals across the nation on Christmas Eve - a 15 per cent rise in a week. Top officials say a highly infectious strain spreading rapidly across the country is to blame.
For comparison, April 12 was the busiest day of the pandemic so far for hospitals in England, when 18,974 patients were occupying beds.
The Health Service Journal, a trade publication aimed at health bosses, has calculated that the number of Covid patients is rising by around 250 each day, meaning NHS England is on course to exceed the first wave in the next few days and, possibly, top 20,000 on New Year s Eve .
