The pressure on pediatric hospitals in our province, caused by rising numbers of respiratory cases, is leading to some extraordinary measures.
Officials at B-C Children’s Hospital say they’re now allowing two patients to be placed in single-patient rooms to cope with the overload.
They’ll only use such measures when necessary, and when “medically appropriate.”
The hospital is also asking parents to limit the number of visitors to patients’ rooms and the emergency department.
