'Dial 999 for stroke emergencies despite coronavirus'

People who may be having a stroke should still call 999 for emergency medical care, even during the coronavirus pandemic, say UK experts.

Latest figures for England and Scotland suggest attendance to Emergency Departments has dropped by over a third on the same week last year.Dr Deb Lowe, NHS National Clinical Director for Stroke and Consultant Stroke Physician at Wirral University Teaching Hospital, said:"Our hospitals are equipped and ready to treat stroke patients.

"But these are to keep patients and NHS workers safe and the most important thing to remember is to dial 999 if you suspect a stroke."
