Cyprus: Patient Dies from Flu - Hospitals of the OKYPY Almost Full

Cyprus is experiencing an increase in flu cases, resulting in increased pressure on OKYPY hospitals, which are almost full. A patient belonging to a vulnerable group recently died from the flu. The increase in arrivals at emergency rooms is partly due to the absence of personal and specialist doctors due to leave. The 'Alpha' type flu is dominant, but has not affected the operation of the hospitals.
