Activation of the white plan in the face of the resurgence of bronchiolitis, Covid-19 and the flu

THE white plane : an imperative necessity in the face of a triple health threat

While the epidemic of bronchiolitis affects many infants, the return of Covid-19 and the flu weighs on our already weakened health system. Faced with these threats, the white plan was triggered, an exceptional measure aimed at strengthening the hospital's capacities.

The triggering of the white plane, an unprecedented measure in the current health context

The white plan, launched by the Minister of Health, Olivier Véran, is an exceptional provision which mobilizes all the human and material resources of hospitals to deal with extreme health situations.

THE Covid-19 and the flu : a dangerous duo for our health system

The return of both viruses at the same time is a challenge for our health system. Covid-19 requires exceptional precautionary measures while the flu, often underestimated, can prove fatal, particularly for vulnerable populations.

The epidemic of bronchiolitis : another threat to our hospitals

In addition, the bronchiolitis epidemic mainly affects infants and requires special care. The combination of these three diseases puts our hospitals under pressure and justifies the triggering of the white plan.

The consequences of the white plan for healthcare staff and patients

While nursing staff are already exhausted, the white plan means more work and longer hours. In addition, with the postponement of certain non-urgent procedures, patients may see their operation postponed.

How to protect yourself against these three diseases?

Vaccination remains the most effective way to protect yourself from Covid-19 and the flu. As for bronchiolitis, compliance with hygiene measures is essential to prevent the spread of the virus.
