Ben Attwood, 43, is an intensive care consultant at Warwick Hospital and associate medical director at South Warwickshire NHS Foundation Trust.
Despite a downward trend in coronavirus cases and hospital admissions, Dr Attwood said staff will not be able to cope if policy-makers “take their eye off the ball”.Dr Attwood said the delay between transmission of Covid-19 and the deterioration of patients’ conditions mean his hospital is still seeing patients “who might have been infected in the Christmas period and just after”.
