Big fall in Wirral’s Covid-19 numbers as pressure on hospitals eases

The number of people in Wirral’s hospitals with Covid-19 has fallen massively, with cases also down. In March, the picture looked worrying. At the start of the month the borough had just 15 patients, but by early April around 100 people were being treated for the virus in Wirral’s hospitals. In recent weeks, things have dramatically improved. On April 12, the borough had 98 covid patients, but on the most recent figures, for April 26, this had fallen to 58.
