But, they were still moving patients with obvious CV-19 symptoms (and their beds) from assessment units to general wards at the end of May. I know, I was one of them.
When my test result came back +ve it was too late, I'd already been moved to a general ward about 6hrs earlier. All they did was stick a yellow sign on the door into the general ward and move me to an isolation room behind red stickers.
I couldn't fault the staff but the guidelines and procedures they were given were woefully inadequate. Even I could see that.
