We had our first COVID-19 patient admitted to our ITU ~12th March 2020. Today marked the first time we had no active cases on our Critical care units since then - amazing work by UHB Critical Care and Outreach and all University Hospitals Birmingham @qehbham @HeartlandsUHB @GoodHopeUHB @SolihullUHB proud of #NHS
