Hospitals Prepared for Increased Patient Admissions
December 30, 2025
Health authorities are on alert due to an increase in infections, particularly from the flu. Hospital occupancy rates are at 85%-90%, with many patient admissions expected especially after the holidays. Emergency Departments have managed thousands of cases, many involving children. While there is an increase in admissions, the situation remains manageable. Fortunately, there has not been an increase this year in cases of respiratory syncytial virus compared to last year's figures.
