Data source?
https://www.england.nhs.uk/statistics/statistical-work-areas/covid-19-hospital-activity/
The most recent available NHS England data reveals that on 26 December there were 1,338 new hospital cases. Of these 1,082 were either admitted in the previous 24 hours for the first time with Covid or were diagnosed in hospital in the previous 24 hours where the test was within seven days of admission.
In other words, 256 of the reported Covid hospital admissions – about 20% – were actually due to hospital-acquired infections, meaning the patients were originally admitted for different reasons.
