A person has died from COVID-19 in Worcestershire.
Matthew Hopkins, Chief Executive of Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust, said: “We can confirm that, sadly, a patient who had tested positive for COVID-19 has died at one of our hospitals."
“The patient passed away at the Alexandra Hospital."
“Our thoughts and condolences remain with the patient’s family and loved ones at this difficult time."
Sheds housing nearly 200,000 broiler chickens at a Herefordshire farm are to be demolished and rebuilt to a higher standard.
A planning application by Avara Foods, one of the county’s largest employers, says the replacement sheds at Parkway Farm, Madley west of Hereford would have the same footprint as the current eight within the two-hectare site, and “will not result in any increase in floor area, bird numbers, or operational intensity”.
