The coastguard’s search and rescue helicopter team in Stornoway has been providing invaluable support to the NHS by transporting Covid patients from Barra. The helicopter has been sent to move people most at risk of serious illness after testing positive for the virus to Western Isles Hospital in Stornoway, in a bid to ensure they receive the urgent care they need as quickly as possible. NHS Western Isles boss Gordon Jamieson now says the health service owes the coastguard a huge debt . Their support is in addition to the coastguard aircraft’s search and rescue response duties – with January 2021 proving to be the busiest month on record for the Stornoway base since it opened in 2013.
NHS Western Isles has suffered another significant increase in coronavirus cases. The health board has confirmed that outbreaks of the virus in Lewis and Benbecula are linked to island medical facilities. A total of ten new cases of Covid-19 were confirmed by health bosses last night. Six of the new cases are linked to an outbreak in Western Isles Hospital in Stornoway, where all but essential visiting has been suspended for the time being. Contact tracing is underway and a number of people have already been asked to self isolate. The cases are a combination of both staff and patients.
