Hutt Hospital faces influx of Covid-19 patients amid staff shortages

Reporter Community News

Covid is having a big impact on Hutt Hospital. Up to one in three patients coming through Hutt Hospital's emergency department have Covid-19. At the same time as dealing with the influx of Covid patients, the ED was having to scramble to fill holes in the roster.
About 800 doctors and nurses at Wellington's three hospitals have been off sick or in isolation this week – that is nearly 15 per cent of the clinical workforce.

Poll: Would you participate in local initiatives aimed at stopping plastic from reaching our oceans?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Volunteers will be scouring the foreshore, riverbanks, and islands for rubbish on Saturday the 13th as part of the Clean Up the Hutt event.

This initiative helps stop plastic from reaching our oceans and makes our waterways cleaner and safer for everyone.

We want to know: Should this be rolled out across all coastal cities in Aotearoa? And more importantly… would you get involved? 💚

Want the details? The Post has you covered.
