The number of Hertfordshire residents hospitalised with Covid-19 rose by almost a third in the last week of verified data – and the numbers look set to increase in the coming weeks.
New NHS figures show that on Monday, December 14, 199 hospital beds were occupied by coronavirus patients across four Herts hospital trusts.
In the week leading up to December 15, Hertfordshire’s overall infection rate rose by 83 per cent, from 168 cases per 100,000 people to 309.
This means hospitalisation rates would be expected to continue rising over Christmas and New Year.

The Hornets controlled the game against Jurgen Klopp’s side from start to finish and more than deserved their three-goal winning margin. Ighalo scored twice in the victory to take his tally for the season to 12. The Nigerian is having yet another remarkable campaign. As are Watford. Under the guidance of Quique Sanchez Flores the club sit seventh in the Premier League with 28 points from 17 games. It’s an incredible achievement.
