Balearic clinics prepare — is that enough for the flu wave?

Answer

How serious is the flu wave in Mallorca right now?

The current strain on Mallorca’s health system is significant enough that hospitals and clinics are preparing extra capacity. The pressure is not only from flu, but also from other respiratory infections that can quickly fill beds and increase demand on staff. The wider concern is that the system can become overloaded before all patients even reach hospital.
