Flu hospitalisations have surged by more than half in just one week, plunging the NHS into a “worst case scenario” situation for December

An average of 2,660 patients per day were in a hospital bed with flu last week – the highest ever for this time of year and up 55% up on last week.

This means there are enough flu patients each day to fill more than three whole hospital trusts!
