Flu in hospitals: 22 people in Peterborough City Hospital with flu
A total of 22 people are currently in Peterborough City Hospital with flu, it has been revealed (as of December 17).
Across the country, some hospitals have seen far more patients needing treatment with the virus this winter – with levels earlier this month having reached record levels.
However, Peterborough appears to have avoided the worst of the problems – so far at least – with levels being similar to 2024 .
Jo Bennis, Chief Nurse for North West Anglia NHS Foundation Trust, which runs Peterborough City Hospital, Hinchingbrooke Hospital and Stamford & Rutland Hospital said: “We have 22 patients at Peterborough City Hospital with flu, which is similar to this time last year.
"As we do all year, and especially in winter, we would ask anyone who has cold or flu symptoms, or symptoms of diarrohea and/or vomiting, not to come into the hospital util 48 hours after symptoms have resolved.
“Patients and visitors are welcome to wear masks when in the hospital.
“Please also remember that you can still have a flu vaccination in the community to protect yourselves and your loved ones over this Christmas period.”
