Mayor of London Sadiq Khan has declared a major incident across the city with coronavirus cases spiralling and in Islington the Whittington Hospital says it is rapidly working to increase capacity where it can.
City Hall said Covid-19 cases in London have exceeded 1,000 per 100,000 people and that there are 35 per cent more people in hospital with the virus than in the previous peak of the pandemic last April.
A “major incident” means the “severity of the consequences” associated with it are “likely to constrain or complicate the ability of responders to resource and manage the incident”.
