Uptick in Saskatoon emergency room visits after ‘eerily’ quiet March
Reading now: 146
The pandemic started with talk of an ominous surge of COVID-19 patients filling Saskatchewan hospitals to the brim, but so far, that prediction hasn’t come to fruition.
Instead, Saskatoon’s normally overloaded emergency rooms were quiet in March, according to one doctor. “People were initially quite afraid to come to the hospital, thinking that it was full of COVID patients and they might get sick.” Visits to Saskatoon ERs were down by about 2,000 in March — about 18 per cent less than normal, Smith said.
Fewer people were doing outdoor activities, she said, which means fewer incidents of trauma, chest pain and shortness of breath.
