Military personnel from the Royal Air Force have been brought in to provide support to the Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital Trust (SaTH).
The 10 RAF personnel started on Tuesday January 18 and will be providing non-clinical support.
They will be supporting porters, the rapid response team, wards, the incident command centre and stores.
Team leader of the RAF personnel, Master Aircrew Stuart Wright, said: "We are proud to be working alongside our NHS colleagues and assisting where necessary in the response to the covid-19 pandemic.
"We have been welcomed universally by staff at all levels of the SaTH Trust and will do our best to offer any help wherever we can."
Chief operating officer at SaTH, Nigel Lee, added: "I am delighted to welcome the RAF personnel to our Trust who will be supporting our teams for the next four weeks.
"We are incredibly grateful for their support as we continue to see staffing pressures due to covid-19."
