The Galilee Medical Center in Nahariya has announced that there are 103 patients for 54 positions in its emergency room, due to a large number of severe respiratory patients, according to Yediot Ahronot. The hospital said that the waiting time may be up to five or six hours.

The emergency room of the Rambam Medical Center in Haifa has a load of 190%, and the wards are full so patients cannot be transferred from the emergency room.
