UK Hotels Prepare Beds for Patients in Further Covid Backup Plan – Minister
Hotels could be used for patients who no longer need full hospital treatment, Britain’s health minister said on Wednesday, as part of a further COVID-19 backup plan the government is not yet actively putting in place.
“This obviously would be a further backup plan… We consider all the options,” Matt Hancock says.
“This would be for step-down patients so patients who have been in hospital, who no longer need the full hospital treatment but aren’t quite ready to go home.”
