The boss at one of Nottinghamshire's hospital trusts says increasing Covid infection rates in the community is a 'concern'. The case rates for Nottingham and Nottinghamshire saw a weekly increase of more than 70 per cent as the country disposed of its final restrictions.
There was a rise of 2,165 cases across the area in the week up to March 10, according to government statistics. Paul Robinson, chief executive at Sherwood Forest Hospitals (SFH), said he was "a little bit worried" by the trend.
"We're a little bit worried that if the community rates go up then more of our staff will have Covid," he told Nottinghamshire Live.
