"I wish now I'd tried to retrieve Mr Christie's phone number, but I didn't. I went through to my triage room to try and secure a bed for Christian," said Ms Bell.

The staff there took Ms. Jahan to the triage room.

Some new patients with the disease are being treated near the emergency department waiting area, in a triage room staffed with doctors, and some who are stable enough to leave are being sent home with oxygen.

Once Poonam’s contractions are 15 minutes apart, she is wheeled into the triage room where her nose is swabbed for a Covid-19 test.
