The number of people in hospital suffering from covid is up.
The head of infectious diseases at Winterthur Cantonal Hospital, Urs Karrer, told the NZZ yesterday the main reason is a new variant.
Although the virus is not spreading as fast as the winter of 2022, he says he believes up to 30% of the population could be infected – which will still be a serious wave.
But he does point out not as many people die of covid now.
Those in hospital are also suffering from other conditions – such as heart problems.
However, the government is recommending all those vulnerable should be tested.
