Naas General Hospital Statement

Monday, 19 December 2022 09:33

By Clem Ryan

Attend A&E Dept only if an emergency; observe Covid protocols

Naas General Hospital has experienced very high attendance and admissions over the weekend due to high numbers of COVID-19 and other RSV infections.

Where possible management at Naas General Hospital is asking patients with non-emergency conditions to seek assistance from other parts of the health service such as their local Pharmacist or GP.

Any patient who needs emergency hospital care will be seen and Naas General Hospital would urge such patients not to delay attending the ED. Do not delay in seeking medical attention if you suspect you are having a heart attack or stroke, please dial 999 or 112 in an emergency.

The public is reminded that if you have to attend the ED in an emergency:

you wear a mask,
practice social distancing and ensure you tell the triage personnel if you have any signs/symptoms of Covid-19.

A surge in covid 19 and flu cases is 'putting a lot of strain on frontline staff.'

That's according to consultant in Infectious Disease Eoghan de Barra, with a sharp rise in both viruses over the past week.

The Chief Medical Officer Breda Smith says test postitivity for covid 19 is almost one in five.
