It comes after it was reported last night that a hospital in the capital is in 'disaster medicine mode' and unable to provide 'high standard critical care' because it is understaffed and swamped by Covid-19 patients.
The Royal London Hospital in Whitechapel has reportedly sent an email to notify staff of the worrying situation, a campaigning doctor revealed on Twitter.
The leaked email warned that the Royal London has only one nurse for every three Covid patients being treated in intensive care.
