Two infants in ICU, 'hyper-sanitation' in childcare centres following spike in winter illnesses
6 Jul, 2021 05:29 AM - New Zealand
Two infants are in ICU in Wellington Hospital following a peak in respiratory illnesses in recent days.
Around 100 children have been admitted to Wellington Regional Hospital with RSV (Respiratory syncytial virus) over the past four weeks, with 20 children currently in hospital.
New Zealand Royal College of GPs medical director Dr Bryan Betty said he had seen an upswing in respiratory illnesses in children in his own Porirua practice.
"We saw none of it last year mainly due to the lockdown of the borders," he said.

Many are going on oxygen and new wards are opening. We can only hope and pray it ends soon for them and they survive.
