Covid-19: England lockdown looms as hospital ejects 'Covid deniers'

A group of Covid-19 'deniers' were removed from a hospital by security guards after going there to take pictures of empty corridors to post on social media to back up their claims that there is no crisis, according to its chief executive. Describing the incident at Colchester Hospital, where the intensive care unit is running at maximum capacity because of the virus, Nick Hulme said it 'beggars belief' some people were calling the pandemic a hoax. 'Of course there are empty corridors at the weekend in outpatients, because that's the right thing to do,' he added.
