Average treatment costs of COVID-19
Dear Barts Health NHS Trust,
I would like to know the average (mean, median & SD) financial cost of treating a "standard" COVID-19 patient (a) in a general bed/ward and (b) in critical care.
I look forward to hearing from you within 20 working days.
Yours faithfully,
Dheeya Rizmie
