A Nottinghamshire hospital trust has reintroduced the need to wear masks in its sites after the number of patients positive for Covid increased by about 250 per cent in a month.
The board of directors at Sherwood Forest Hospitals NHS Trust, which runs King’s Mill, Mansfield Community and Newark Hospitals, have also returned to holding their monthly meeting virtually after 10 outbreaks were discovered.
The trust has confirmed it has about 70 people in its three sites who are currently positive for the virus, which is up from 20 this time last month.
