The white plan was activated in 83 French hospitals by Wednesday, January 22, as BFMTV learned from the Ministry of Health, that is, a decrease in the number. In fact, as of January 10, 87 hospitals had activated the white plan. In fact, several health establishments have lifted their white plan in recent days, such as those in Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur, which no longer have one.
Let us remember that the white plan is a system that allows, in particular, the withdrawal of nursing and administrative staff, the opening of additional beds in hospitals or the descheduling of non-urgent surgical operations.
The winter flu epidemic, especially intense this winter, has caused in recent weeks the activation of white plans in many hospitals throughout the country.
In its latest epidemiological bulletin dedicated to acute respiratory infections, Public Health France noted that emergency room visits for flu-like illnesses and hospitalizations following emergency room visits are decreasing.
