The boss of the NHS in England marked the anniversary of the first confirmed coronavirus patients being treated by paying tribute to the staff’s “extraordinary work in a year like no other”.
Sir Simon Stevens visited the Royal Victoria Infirmary, Newcastle, where two Chinese nationals were treated after they tested positive.
A woman aged 50 and a 23-year-old student had fallen ill in York, were initially treated in Hull and were transferred to Newcastle in the early hours of January 31 2020.
Since then, hospitals have treated more than 320,000 patients with Covid, with about one person with the virus admitted to critical care every 30 minutes.
