HIGHER RATE OF PATIENTS WITH FLU STRAINS, COVID AND RSV - AND PEAK IS 'YET TO COME', WARN HEALTH BOSSES
HOSPITALS in Wales are facing significant strain as five distinct viruses spread, causing heightened pressure and subsequent issues within the ambulance service, which reported a critical incident yesterday.
Current findings by Public Health Wales identify three flu variants in circulation: A(H1N1), often referred to as swine flu, A(H3N2) - previously known as Australian flu, and a third type, Influenza B, present in lower numbers.
Alongside these, there are notable instances of Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) and Covid-19 hospital admissions. The current flu season has shown increased intensity in Wales, with public health officials cautioning that the peak is yet to come.
