Weston hospital full to capacity due to increase in demand

On average, the hospital - which is run by Weston Area Health Trust (WAHT) - had 264 beds available to use each day last week, including three escalation beds, which are used in emergencies and periods of high demand.

Zero beds were free on an average day.

Seems like a problem waiting to happen. I wonder how many other hospitals in the UK are already tight on beds. As COVID-19 explodes in the UK, how will they handle the demand?
