Hospitals in Savoie are facing a significant increase in emergency room consultations during this period. With a massive influx of tourists and the co-circulation of influenza, gastroenteritis and Covid viruses as well, waiting times are found to be prolonged in certain establishments, notably in the hospitals of Tarentaise (Albertville-Moutiers and Bourg St Maurice) who activated their internal mobilization plan.
Call 15 if in doubt
In this context, the hospitals of Savoie therefore call on the population to take responsibility for all. It is recommended to seek primary care from local doctors or to dial 15 in case of doubt to assess the need for emergency treatment.
Barrier gestures: a priority to limit the spread of viruses
To prevent the overload of services and protect the most vulnerable, it is crucial to respect barrier gestures:
Wash your hands regularly.
Wear a mask in enclosed spaces or in case of symptoms.
Limit close contact in case of illness.
Ventilate shared spaces regularly.
The hospital establishments of Savoie thank the population for their cooperation
