The latest data released by the Government shows that there were no coronavirus patients in St Mary’s Hospital as of the 30th May.
The figures also reveal that just 12 people were admitted to hospital on the Isle of Wight following a positive coronavirus test in the previous 2 months – with a total of 745 patients admitted since the beginning of the pandemic and the 30th May.
Since the 6th April of this year, there have been 171 positive tests recorded on the Island, with a total of 6,868 positive tests since testing began last year.
The news comes as more than half of the Island’s population has now been fully vaccinated against the virus, with the vaccination programme now being extended to include those aged between 25 and 29, as previously reported by Island Echo.
The how come the figures for the Isle of Wight and the end of may were 24 up 4 on the previous week, I’m guessing they went into “isolation” at home, or is this more spin from the NHS
Can’t believe this has to be explained lol but the Isle of Wight is a different thing to St Mary’s Hospital. These are figures that show the number of hospital admissions, you can have a positive result without needing to go in to the hospital.
Excellent news and a big thank you to all the people who has helped us get through this. One in the eye for all the covidiots who thought sticking their head in the sand and wishing it away was the way to do it. Lucky they were in the minority. Looks to be a good summer.
Well, so far so good, fingers crossed, I now understand that the Indian variant is rife on the mainland, but it is politically incorrect to name it in that term? (So maybe we should call it the native north American variant) So what do we call the south African and Brazilian strain? Or don’t they count? My uncle lives in Kent and he has no qualms of the virus Kent strain being named after his county as that is where it derives from, but we must not dare offend the woke community ! (PS keep up the good work NHS)
Breaking news: New variant of the ‘common cold’ indentified in parts of the island – symptoms include the sniffles & a tickly cough. Surge testing ASAP!
