Doctor returns to work after recovering from coronavirus to find over-capacity intensive care unit


A doctor has returned to work after suffering with coronavirus - but warned his intensive care unit is over capacity. But the intensive care consultant has now returned to work at Royal Gwent Hospital in Newport, South Wales and warned that the intensive care unit is already over capacity. 'We've got over 16 patients in intensive care, our normal capacity would be 13 ventilated patients. First Minister Mark Drakeford told how a medic at the hospital had spread the virus unknowingly between staff leading to several infections. The British Medical Association says staff face 'life-threatening shortages' of protective equipment as they work with Covid-19 patients round the clock.
