You're being asked not to go to Shropshire's A&E departments unless its an emergency...
Patients in Shropshire should still attend routine appointments, said Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS TrustShrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust is urging people only to attend A&E for serious accidents and emergencies.
Sara Biffen, acting chief operating officer, said it was working with other parts of the NHS to manage exceptional pressures. Essential services remain open and patients with routine appointments should attend as usual, it said. A previous critical incident was introduced at the trust, which operates the Princess Royal Hospital in Telford and Royal Shrewsbury Hospital, on 29 March when hospitals in Shropshire were said to have the highest number of Covid patients since the pandemic began.
It followed a series of critical incidents declared by the county's hospitals in January, February and March.
