- We have lower operating capacity to be able to prioritize patients who are urgent or in need of care who cannot wait, says director of care Jessica Frisk.
She also says that the staff is in great need of recovery after several years of the corona pandemic and a tough summer that was followed by a tough autumn.
Viruses and winter sickness
She also wants to emphasize that the people of Östgöt now take responsibility for preventing the spread of infection and make sure to get vaccinated.
Frisk also believes that vaccination against covid-19 means that those who become ill become less severely ill.
- Those who are hospitalized for covid are not vaccinated or lack three to five syringes.
We see that the vaccine has a good effect against severe disease.
The Public Health Authority announced in a newsletter on Friday that there is a continued sharp increase in the spread of covid-19, influenza and RS virus.
And as if that wasn't enough, the spread of winter sickness is also underway, according to FHM.
