London’s new Nightingale Hospital has tonight taken its first coronavirus patients.

The 100-acre site at London’s ExCel sports centre has been converted to cater for 4,000 patients in the fight against Covid-19.

And it was opened by Prince Charles by video link on Friday, having completed self-isolation following his own diagnosis.

Health Secretary Matt Hancock and Health Minister Nadine Dorries, who have also recovered from the virus, were at the hospital for the opening.
