  2. 'Too early to tell if latest lockdown has worked'published at 12:32 Greenwich Mean Time 14 January 2021

    The medical director at North Tees and Hartlepool NHS Foundation Trust has warned it's too soon to say if the current lockdown is bringing down the rate of coronavirus infections.

    Dr Deepak Dwarakanath says figures don't suggest a turning point has been reached yet.

    "We're averaging about 30 new patients coming into the hospital with Covid every day," he said.

    "We are sadly seeing about six people a day die of Covid and this is a deeply distressing time for the families and our staff.

    "This is a very sad situation."

    Dr Dwarakanath is urging people to adhere to the lockdown rules and stay at home.

    "The number of admissions going up each day means that we've topped the 200 mark once again. This is a massive strain on our hospital or any other hospital in the country.

    "This disease can not be trivialised, the types of patients we're seeing being admitted now are quite different to those in the first wave.

    "Talking to our senior respiratory physicians, we're seeing 30 and 40-year-olds being admitted with serious illness requiring oxygen and a lot of them needing intensive care therapy."
