Staff at the hospital say it continues to be “Exceptionally busy”
Royal Berkshire Hospital staff have had to create extra capacity in the intensive care unit due to a recent influx of Covid-19 patients.

That’s the message from Dominic Hardy, chief operating officer of Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust, who said staff are treating more people for the virus now than they were at the peak of the first wave.

There are now over 200 Covid-19 patients at the Reading hospital and more are expected to arrive in the coming weeks.
