Devon's NHS says the numbers of Covid inpatients are higher than any other point in the pandemic.
Torbay and South Devon NHS Foundation Trust' bosses said the impact of Covid on hospitals was 'really significant'
The inpatient figures, which have risen to 292, are higher than at any other point during the pandemic. It added that four patients were in intensive care, while a further 37 patients were awaiting test results."While it is encouraging that the majority of our patients who have tested positive for Covid-19 are in hospital for other conditions and are asymptomatic or experiencing mild symptoms, the impact that the presence of Covid-19 has in our hospitals is really significant," explained Ian Currie, medical director of Torbay and South Devon NHS Foundation Trust.
The NHS Devon Clinical Commissioning Group's medical director, Dr Paul Johnson, added: "These incredibly high numbers of patients with Covid-19 has a huge impact on the NHS ability to carry out planned care for patients, who have already had long waits due to the pandemic."
