Disease wave in the Rhein-Kreis Neuss: respiratory diseases in masse!

in the Rhein-Kreis Neuss is currently being reported on a worrying increase in respiratory diseases. The situation in numerous medical practices is tense because the number of patients has increased considerably. A particularly common problem are symptoms such as cough, fever and sore throat that many people in the region plague. These diseases seem to appear earlier this year as usual, and the numbers speak for themselves: According to the North Rhine's general practitioners' association, there is a plus of a third of cases compared to previous years.

A reason for the increase could be the combination of cold weather and the variety of social contacts, which has also increased in the transition period. Children and working adults who are often in contact with other people are particularly affected. The general practitioner association therefore called for the population to be vaccinated to reduce the risk of flu or corona disease. The vaccinations are intended to help contain the spread of these diseases and reduce the stress of health facilities.

The current situation and its meaning

In addition to the usual respiratory diseases, Corona infections appear again, which continues to complicate the situation. The health authorities had already expected an increase, but the actual numbers exceed expectations. The signs indicate that further illnesses can be expected in the coming weeks, which underlines the urgency of prevention measures.

The performance of the doctor's practices is put to the test because the patient flows increase and waiting times in the treatment rooms are longer. Many doctors report fully occupied waiting rooms and a lively patient volume, which reveals the need for additional medical resources. The experts emphasize how important it is not only to protect yourself from influenza, but also from a Covid 19 infection in order to minimize the prevailing health risks.
