One Death Due to Flu - Hospitals Almost Full

In Cyprus, one person has died this year from the flu, while hospitals are experiencing increased occupancy, reaching 85%-90%. The rise in cases of winter viruses, including influenza A and RSV, is attributed to low temperatures and gatherings during the holiday season. Authorities emphasize the importance of personal hygiene measures and advise anyone experiencing symptoms to limit their movements and avoid contact with vulnerable groups. Emergency departments operate with Rapid Patient Flow Clinics to efficiently serve non-urgent cases, and hospitals are prepared to handle a potential further increase in cases.
