Off-duty staff are asked to go straight to the South West Acute Hospital in Enniskillen due to pressure on the service this evening (Sunday).
Hospitals have been suffering added pressure due to the rise in the number of COVID-19 cases in Northern Ireland.
Attention all off-duty staff in the vicinity of SWAH. Due to increasing pressures this evening on the NI Helathcare System we are appealing to you to contact or go directly to the hospital. Thank You pic.twitter.com/FoQNbPe2Dz

Craigavon and Daisy Hill Hospitals are also extremely busy.
Staff have responded and additional beds have been opened to support the high numbers of COVID-19 positive patients needing hospital care.
This high level of demand is expected to continue over the next few weeks.
