LUH General Manager Sean Murphy wrote to clinical staff yesterday, Wednesday, as they continue to struggle to find space for the amount of Covid positive patients that are in the hospital.
There were 79 positive patients in LUH on Sunday but the situation has got considerably worse since.
“We’re not seeing any decrease in the number of patients presenting with Covid-19 and we’re seeing very significant pressures on the wards. We’re also seeing high numbers in the community and among staff,” Mr Murphy said.
