Hospitals told to change the way they identify patients ill from Covid-19 and those testing positive
The NHS has been advised to change the way they identify patients who are sick from coronavirus and those who test positive.
Up until now, hospitals have recorded patients sick from the virus and those who tested positive together, whether they presented with symptoms or not. The new advice has been given with the hope that it will reduce the numbers of patients in hospital for the virus.
