Londres. Los hospitales británicos viven una situación de “zona de guerra” debido al aumento de pacientes con coronavirus, advirtió el asesor científico del gobierno Patrick Vallance, en un país que no deja de batir récords de muertos, con 1.820 registrados este miércoles.

La situación es “muy, muy mala en este momento, con una enorme presión, y en algunos casos parece una zona de guerra en términos de lo que la gente tiene que gestionar”, afirmó Vallance al canal privado Sky News.
