THREAD: The significant demand for our 999 services in London is partly being driven by people who have breathing difficulties as rates of viral infections and respiratory illnesses rise. Our 111 service is also taking a lot of calls seeking advice around colds and flu. 🧵🔽 1/3
Over the last few days, our 999 control rooms have taken +7,000 emergency calls a day ➡️ similar demand to a #NewYearsEve. Help us save lives by using our services wisely. 999 is for life-threatening emergencies like serious road traffic collisions, strokes and heart attacks.

Always in our thoughts 💚
Today we remember Jack Merritt and Saskia Jones, killed in the London Bridge attack six years ago. Our thoughts are with their loved ones, those injured, and all affected. We also pay tribute to the emergency services who responded, on scene and in the emergency control rooms.
