Tragically, there have been more than 500 Covid-related deaths in the Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust area since the pandemic began, along with over 2,000 covid-related hospital admissions.
The sickest are managed at the Northumbria Specialist Emergency Care (NSEC) Hospital in Cramlington. Those who are less sick, recovering or who have other health care needs are treated at general and community hospitals.
