The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said Thursday that hospitals and emergency rooms could be overwhelmed due to influenza and COVID-19.
“COVID-19 hospitalizations are rising quickly,” the federal agency said in a weekly update. “Since the summer, public health officials have been tracking a rise in multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C), which is caused by COVID-19. Influenza activity is growing in most parts of the country. RSV activity remains high in many areas.”
