About to break up they have done so in scotland and we will see that elsewhere in the uk, and we have seen when schools are on holiday, just because of the interactions we have, the most up to date figures are for england. there are currentlyjust under 9,000 covid patients. some are there because of another health issue, that is still below april s number of over 16,500. nhs staff say the virus is making life more difficult at a time of high pressure. health care workers are vulnerable to pick up covid because of the environment they work in, because they do a lot of work which is people facing, so you then create this workforce problem, where what we are seeing is lots of staff are off. and that s creating lots of problems that we can t open wards, we don t have enough beds to look after patients coming through. vaccines are continuing including at this centre at bath racecourse. as infections rise, health officials are urging all those who qualified for a second booster to come forward. in the autumn, those aged 65 and over are set to get a fourth dose.
