He notes that the trend of large jumps in cases could trigger a vertical surge.

Our hospitals are already reaching maximum capacity, and the large increase of Covid-19 patients is threatening to overwhelm the whole system.
Dr Noor Hisham urges all those able to work from home to do so and limit going out.
Those who would like to register for Phase 2 of the AZ vaccine can also do so.
