A SENIOR medic has urged the public to help take the pressure off Teesside hospitals as Covid-19 cases hit record numbers. The North Tees and Hartlepool NHS Foundation Trust said it was currently dealing with 166 coronavirus cases – the equivalent of five and-a-half wards full of patients and more than half its total number of beds. On Tuesday the trust, which operates hospitals in Stockton and Hartlepool, reported 20 deaths had occured from the virus over Christmas, which represented the highest number of covid-19 deaths on Teesside for a single day since the start of the pandemic. Daily figures for the UK as a whole have hit record levels with 53,000 new cases also being announced, blamed in part on a new fast-spreading coronavirus variant, but also down to lags in Christmas reporting.
