On December 31 and January 1, 383 people were admitted to the hospital's emergency department. Among them, 171 patients, including 166 children, were hospitalized based on medical indications.

According to information provided by the medical institution, 202 cases (53% of the total number of visits) were related to acute respiratory viral infections.

“Despite the holiday period, the on-duty doctors are working under high load. The number of visits and hospitalizations continues to rise,” the statement noted.

Currently, there are 9 patients in the intensive care unit, 8 of whom are children. All have been diagnosed with complicated forms of ARVI, such as respiratory failure, bronchial obstruction, pneumonia, and acute stenosing laryngotracheitis.

“We hospitalize everyone based on medical indications; refusals are not considered. Treatment and examination are covered by the hospital,” the doctors added.

In light of the current epidemiological situation regarding ARVI and influenza, the RKIB recommends:


Doctors strongly advise against self-medication. When experiencing a fever, many patients start taking antibiotics, but if unsure about treatment, it is better to consult your family doctor.
