The latest information about those admitted to the hospital is available just before Christmas.
As of December 22, 8,246 Govt-19 patients had been admitted, 8% more than a week earlier, and the number of patients admitted to the hospital daily had already exceeded 1,000.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson said Wednesday that 90% of those treated in intensive care are without a booster dose.
