Number of COVID patients in hospitals run by Peterborough trust increases slightly
The number of patients being treated for COVID by the trust which runs Peterborough City Hospital has increased by two in the past fortnight.
There are currently 71 patients being treated for the virus across Peterborough City, Hinchingbrooke and Stamford and Rutland Hospitals.
On November 18 there were 69 patients, while a month ago on November 2 there were 59.
Caroline Walker, Chief Executive, for North West Anglia NHS Foundation Trust, said: “I can confirm that sadly, 320 patients being cared for in our Trust have passed away since we began reporting Covid-19-related deaths. There have been 113 at Hinchingbrooke Hospital and 207 at Peterborough City Hospital. All patients were aged 30 to 98 years old and had pre-existing health conditions. We are currently caring for 71 patients in our hospitals.
"Our thoughts and condolences remain with the patients' families and loved ones at this difficult time."
