Today I had a shift on a respiratory ward, one of the last wards in Scotland with a significant number of covid patients. Their rooms have been cleaned, the patients have been cheered up and the job has been done.
Todays COVID-19 stats are as follows, they’re a massive reduction on this time last year.
- 364 new cases of COVID-19 reported
- 26,582 new tests for COVID-19 that reported results – 1.6% of these were positive
- 1 new reported death(s) of people who have tested positive
- 21 people were in intensive care yesterday with recently confirmed COVID-19
- 174 people were in hospital yesterday with recently confirmed COVID-19
- 2,608,831 people have received the first dose of the Covid vaccination and 500,376 have received their second dose
I’m not scared now, I’m proud. Im proud that myself and my colleagues have beaten this. On the plus side, the pubs might be opening soon.
