New Zealand sees sharp rise in COVID-19, influenza
New Zealand is experiencing a significant surge in COVID-19 and other respiratory infections, with recent data showing a sharp jump in hospitalizations and outbreaks across the country, reported Xinhua.
Healthline, the national medical advice service, reported an uptick in calls related to influenza-like illnesses, although the volume remains lower than the same period last year, Radio New Zealand (RNZ) reported on Friday.
The country is facing its coldest winter temperatures of the year, with some regions recently recording temperatures below zero and fresh snowfall covering parts of the South Island.
Hospital admissions for severe respiratory infections in Auckland, the country's most densely populated region, rose by over 50 percent in the week ending June 1, although overall levels remain similar to those seen last year. Nationwide wastewater testing also points to a growing increase in COVID-19 cases, according to the Institute of Environmental Science and Research.
Health New Zealand has responded by increasing staffing, optimizing hospital bed use, and intensifying vaccination campaigns, RNZ reported.
Over 1 million people have received flu shots this year, but only about 250,000 are up to date with COVID-19 boosters, government statistics show.
National Chief Medical Officer Prof. Helen Stokes-Lampard acknowledged the challenges in boosting vaccination rates, citing issues with vaccine confidence and healthcare access, according to the RNZ report.
Dobrodošli na platformu „Globalni medijski internet pregledač“sedmasila.com
Platforma Sedma Sila je velika online baza newspaper medija iz celog
sveta sa tendecijom konstantnog rasta. Projekat je pokrenut u Srbiji
2016 godine od strane nekolicine kreativnih i ambicioznih ljudi.
Platforma je na web-u dostupna za sve korisnike internet mreže od
Septembra 2020 godine. Stalno radimo na razvoju i i unapređenju
jedinstvenog univerzalnog modula koji će biti zajednički za sve online
newspaper medije. Trenutno na World Wide Web ne postoji javno dostupna
kompletna baza svih medija, uređena tako da korisnicima pruži
jednostavan izbor i brz pristup. Vezano za medije, Google, Facebook i
ostali pretraživaći nude drugačiji concep baze u odnosu na Sedma Sila.
Stalno radimo na poboljšanju funkcionalnosti i dizajniranju platforme.
Naša Misija je da medijske informacije dostupne na Webu, prikupimo,
kategorijski uredimo i prezentujemo korinicima kroz „Novi Internet
Concept“.
Nismo zadovoljni onim što smo uradili. To nas pokreće da nastavimo sa
usavršavanjem projekta.
