Staff absences are two per cent higher than this time a month ago
A Nottinghamshire hospital trust has reintroduced the need to wear masks in its sites after the number of patients positive for Covid increased by about 250 per cent in a month.
It coincides with a similar increase in positive tests nationally as two new strains of the Omicron variant make their way through the population.Bosses at the trust had previously relaxed face covering guidance earlier as transmission began to decrease, marking the first time in more than two years that staff could work without PPE.
Government figures show the current rate for Ashfield, where its main King’s Mill Hospital hub is based, is 219.9 cases per 100,000 people. This comes after 282 people tested positive in the most recent seven-day period.In Mansfield, the current rate is 211.2 per 100,000 people, while the Newark and Sherwood rate is 229.8.
“As a result, we’ve reintroduced the need to wear face coverings in all areas and our [board of directors] meeting is back virtually on Teams.
