North Yorkshire nears 150 confirmed coronavirus cases
The number of confirmed coronavirus cases in North Yorkshire has risen to 149, with six deaths at Harrogate hospital.
It goes up at a time when the signage also goes up at the new 'Nightingale Hospital.'
Construction workers, NHS and army staff have been working flat out to convert part of the Harrogate Convention Centre.
On day three of the build, workers installed the hospital signage for the staff and ambulance entrances.
When it is up and running, which could be possible over the next week, it will help the NHS deal with the coronavirus pandemic.
Three temporary ‘Nightingale’ hospitals have already been announced – in London, Manchester and Birmingham – with more understood to be in the planning stages.
Although the NHS has not yet revealed full details about the project, an announcement is expected imminently.
It comes as the number of confirmed cases in North Yorkshire has risen to 149, with six deaths at Harrogate District Hospital.
