The lack of doctors makes it difficult to discharge patients. This blocks available beds on the wards. The hospital management states that 289 people were admitted between 8:00 on Thursday and 8:00 on Friday. This number is within the daily average.
The hospital has activated an emergency plan. This includes a transit room and support from the pulmonology and internal medicine wards.
