It's primarily due to respiratory illnesses.
Midland Regional Hospital Tullamore is reporting as experiencing a very busy period.
This is primarily due to high levels of patients needing admission due to respiratory illnesses, including flu and COVID-19.
Additional beds have been opened in the hospital to cope with demand.
People are being reminded of alternative options, such as local injury units, GPs and pharmacies.
Patients who require urgent care will be prioritised.
