A couple aged in their 80s required hospital treatment after an elderly woman was allegedly assaulted in a south Norfolk village.
Shortly after 8.10pm on Monday, police were made aware of an incident on Attleborough Road in Old Buckenham, which left an elderly woman and man in need of hospital treatment.
Forensic officers were seen carrying out investigations in the village today following the incident, which officers believed to be isolated.
A spokesman for Norfolk Constabulary said both people were admitted to the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital and that it was believed the woman had been assaulted.
2) Evidence shows vaccines are sufficiently effective in reducing hospitalisations and deaths in those vaccinated
The number of people being taken to hospital with Covid has collapsed, while deaths have also plummeted since the vaccine rollout began. As of May 4, there were 10 Covid patients in Norfolk’s hospitals. That compares to 758 patients during the peak in January.
At the start of the rollout it was unclear whether the lockdown or the vaccine was behind the fall in Covid patients. However, numerous studies since then have shown that all vaccines are highly effective at reducing hospital admissions.
The last Covid death, meanwhile, was reported at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in King’s Lynn on Thursday May 6. The James Paget University Hospital has not reported a death since April 7 and the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital’s most recent Covid death was April 21.
