Nurses have been pictured wearing clinical waste bags on their heads and feet at an NHS hospital that has been overwhelmed by coronavirus. The hospital has reported six deaths due to COVID-19, and has dozens of patients in intensive care. 'The equipment has arrived but because they have changed the rules where you can only wear that equipment... patients are being treated without protection.' Two London hospitals (pictured, University Hospital Lewisham) are turning away coronavirus patients because they are running out of beds, staff have claimed. Public Health England does not advise nurses to wear foot covers to care for patients with COVID-19.
