Read our privacy policy More than 10,000 Covid-19 patients are now being treated in UK hospitals — nearly 1,000 of them ventilators — according to latest daily figures from the government. The county’s public health director Jonathan Gribbin said “even a well-organised NHS and care system will struggle to cope” with the sharp rise in patients in the county’s hospitals. Mr Gribbin said that figure increased to 413 beds the following day, adding: “I think straight away it gives you an indication of how quickly it’s increasing.” During a media briefing on Thursday, he said: “As of yesterday that 413 figure represents around 40% above what we saw at the wave one peak back in April time. “Dr Keith Girling, the medical director at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust has been telling us that the number of Covid-19 patients admitted each day is enough to fill a whole ward.
