In this video, Heather gives her regular update on the number of Covid-19 cases, the vaccination programme and the pressures on services across NHS Lanarkshire.
There are currently 46 inpatients with Covid-19 across the three acute hospitals and five patients in intensive care. With regards to the new Covid-19 cases, most are in the 18 to 39-year-old category and this is reflected in our inpatient numbers.
Staff can help by encouraging younger people to protect themselves by maintaining physical distance from others, wear a face covering, take regular lateral flow tests and by getting vaccinated.
Heather also speaks about the pressures across health and care services and the actions that have been taken.
