NHS Tayside has said it is “extremely busy” dealing with substantial increases in cases of flu, Covid-19 and other viruses.
The board said at the weekend it is currently seeing “extraordinary high levels” of flu that are still on the rise locally as well as more people requiring care in hospital and urged the public to play its part in preventing services from becoming overrun.
A spokesperson admitted the whole system of health and social care was under “intense pressure” but insisted there were a few easy ways people can help ensure medical teams across hospital and community services can keep delivering care and treatment to everyone who needs it.
