Another surge in the number of people hospitalised with covid in Wirral has been recorded, despite cases falling in the borough.
The latest numbers, which are for April 5, show 97 people in Wirral’s hospitals with the virus, a major jump from 66 the week before. After a huge rise over the first three weeks of March, hospital numbers had started to fall, but the latest figures have seen that trend dramatically reverse.
There have not been this many people in Wirral hospitalised with covid since January 11, after a big rise in cases over Christmas and early January. On the other hand, case numbers are down.
