In the UK, due to the increase in the number of cases of coronavirus against the background of the emergence of a new strain, a critical situation has developed. This was announced on Twitter by the resuscitator of the National Health Service of the country, President of the Doctors' Association Samantha Butt-Roden.
“There is not enough oxygen in hospitals. In one of the medical funds there are no devices for non-invasive research left, ”she wrote. Butt-Roden added that the number of patients in hospitals has peaked.
According to the doctor, doctors themselves are getting sick en masse – they have not yet received the vaccine. Because of this, the service has to call medical students at work, posting ads on social networks.
It was previously reported that a new coronavirus mutation, originally discovered in the UK, could trigger a third wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. This was told by a WHO expert, Professor Santiago Mas Coma. According to him, it is too late to prevent the spread of the new strain around the world.
