Taranaki hospitals at critical levels of demand , visitor restrictions in place

Campbell said like much of the country demand on hospital services was at an all-time high. “For several weeks our hospitals have had very high occupancy due to acute illness and trauma, but with the extra pressure of winter sickness including RSV, colds, viruses and respiratory issues we have reached critical levels of demand.” RSV, respiratory syncytial virus, is a very common, contagious virus that causes infections of the lungs and respiratory tract and is sweeping the country. In Taranaki there is one confirmed adult and two children with RSV, Campbell said. “We also have two adults and one child with respiratory viral illness, however they’ve tested negative for RSV but are still ventilated in our Intensive Care Unit,” she said.
