Bristol is experiencing another wave of coronavirus, with hundreds of people across the city catching the virus every single day.
And so far this year, doctors have confirmed that at least 135 people in Bristol have died from coronavirus - equating to a rate of one person every 30 hours.
But while the pressures on the NHS in Bristol is at an all-time high - largely because of staffing shortages, bed-blocking and the knock-on effects of two years of the pandemic - the numbers of people seriously ill with Covid in the city’s hospitals is only a fraction of the levels experienced before the mass vaccination programme of 2021.
