More than 25,000 patients caught coronavirus in hospital since second wave
One in six Covid-19 patients in NHS hospitals in England were infected while being treated for other conditions since September
So far this month, 5,684 Covid-positive in-patients out of 44,315 were infected after being admitted for other conditions

A specialist Covid nurse treating people at home said many of her patients had contracted the virus in hospital and were re-admitted when their conditions worsened.

The nurse said one elderly lady, originally admitted after breaking a rib in a fall, was now critically ill and had passed the virus on to two close relatives while at home.
