Health Minister currently has 'no concerns' about bed capacity for Covid patients

The Island's Health Minister currently has no concerns about bed capacity for Covid-19 patients at Noble's Hospital.

As of yesterday, 12 people are in hospital with the virus, and David Ashford says officials are keeping an eye on the situation.

When asked about the matter yesterday, Mr Ashford also stated a designated ward for Coronavirus patients can house up to around 18 people.

However, he adds this can extend to some extra spaces in ICU and other wards could be repurposed if needed.
