Harrogate hospital overwhelmed by coronavirus volunteer response
"An overwhelming response. Thank you, Harrogate."
Harrogate District Hospital has been overwhelmed by the rapid response to its call for volunteers to help during the coronavirus pandemic.
On Saturday, the trust that runs the hospital said it urgently needed volunteers after some of its staff had been forced to stand down from their roles.
The volunteers will largely be assisting in administrative and manual handling roles but it's unclear how long they will be needed for.
Today a spokesperson for the hospital thanked people for sharing their original appeal.
"An overwhelming response. Thank you, Harrogate. We have what we think we need currently so no need to share further. Again, thank you."
