Health bosses are identifying staff to be rapidly deployed at the new 4,000-bed field hospital being set up to manage a surge in seriously ill coronavirus patients, it has been reported.

Health Secretary Matt Hancock announced earlier this week that the ExCeL site in London will become a temporary hospital equipped with two wards of 2,000 beds each to cope with any patient surge in the capital.
