"Emergency departments have seen a 'tsunami' of cases in the last week or two, the wards are flooded, everyone is working at maximum stretch, we've had to double up - or sometimes triple up - on consultant staff in. "The nursing staff have had to be very stretched, in some areas one nurse sees up to four patients - and the numbers are still rising."Prof Montgomery, who is also a professor of intensive care medicine at University College London, went on to talk about the new coronavirus variant which has been identified in the UK.

He explained that while patients are showing the same symptoms, it could be prevented by hand washing and social distancing: "It's making me actually very angry that people are blaming the virus.""It's not the virus, it's people."

"People are not washing their hands, they're not keeping a 2 meters distance, they're not wearing their masks. "I've seen delivery people come into this hospital these last two days with no masks on, as if there is nothing happening here. People are not doing what they should be doing."Prof Montgomery explained that he believes many people don't care about following the rules in place because "selfishness gives people an excuse to carry on."
