China News Service, January 15th. According to the "Central News Agency" report, the British new crown epidemic is severe, and almost all medical staff are arranged to take care of the new crown patients.
According to statistics, there are currently about 4.46 million patients in England who require non-emergency surgery and can only continue to wait in line.
According to reports, recently, the British new crown epidemic has continued to spread, with tens of thousands of new confirmed cases and hundreds of deaths every day.
There are as many as 7,000 COVID-19 inpatients in the London area, occupying most of the beds in the British National Health Service (NHS).
On January 5, 2021 local time, the United Kingdom adopted the third stringent blockade, and the streets of London are sparsely pedestrian.

As the epidemic continues to spread, British hospitals have cancelled all non-emergency operations in recent weeks, leaving hospital beds for COVID-19 patients.
According to reports, about 4.46 million people in England currently need non-emergency surgery, the highest record since 2007.
Among them, approximately 192,000 have been waiting for more than a year, all of whom are patients who need hip or knee replacement surgery.
The report pointed out that at the beginning of the British new crown epidemic, there were only 1163 patients waiting for surgery for more than a year, but it has increased by 160 times.
As the data of the British National Medical Service System only counts until November 2020, some doctors worry that this number may continue to increase.
The medical director of the British National Medical Service System Boyce said that before the epidemic is brought under control, the medical system will face greater pressure, and more operations will have to be postponed or cancelled. Therefore, everyone must comply with epidemic prevention regulations and maintain social distance.
