NHS confirms Covid is circulating with cases expected to increase

The health board has confirmed that respiratory infections, including Covid, were circulating in Shetland – and are expected to increase through autumn and winter.

It follows national reports of a new variant with a “high number of mutations” detected in the UK – with experts keeping a close eye on its spread.

Hundreds of hospital wards closed due to Covid outbreaks

At least 237 wards were closed to new admissions - typically for periods of around seven to 10 days - in a bid to prevent the virus spreading to other patients.

That compares to a total of 93 ward closures up to the end of July for all other infection control incidents combined, including cases of norovirus, flu, RSV, or gastroenteritis.

The true figures will be higher, however, as NHS Dumfries and Galloway has not yet responded to a freedom of information request and NHS Lothian - Scotland's second largest health board - said it was unable to provide data.

Gerade was in einem Laden abgeholt. Auf dem Rückweg, schon am Fürstenplatz, blökt mir eine Radfahrerin zweimal einen ableistischen Slur entgegen. Einfach so.

Ja, ich trug natürlich FFP2-Maske.

Das scheint diese „Normalisierung“ zu sein, von der so viele Leute reden. #CovidIsNotOver

China's emergency services 'overwhelmed' as COVID-19 wave sweeps country

As China grapples with its first-ever national COVID-19 wave, emergency wards in small cities and towns southwest of Beijing are stunned as they attempt to reel with the massive influx of critical cases. 

Emergency rooms are turning away ambulances, relatives of sick people are searching for open beds, and patients are slumped on benches in hospital corridors and lying on floors for lack of beds.

In more than three decades of emergency medicine, Beijing-based doctor Howard Bernstein said, he has never seen anything like this.

NHS preparing for 'significant excess deaths' this winter

Health chiefs are in talks with funeral directors to ensure cremations and burials can keep pace with demand in the event of “significant excess deaths” this winter.

Board papers from #NHS Lanarkshire also note that additional mortuary capacity created to help manage the Covid pandemic could be called upon to cope with a potential surge in mortality over the coming months.

The documents state: “The resilience planning officers of North and South Lanarkshire are working alongside local undertakers to ensure there is sufficient ‘pace’ of funeral services – both burials and cremations – to support the eventuality of a significant excess of deaths over the winter period.

“Additional mortuary capacity identified for Covid is still in place and will continue to be available over the winter period.”
