With the start of winter looming, California health officials warned that flu activity has reached a high level in the state and that the available number of pediatric hospital beds is dwindling.

The California Department of Public Health said that flu activity has increased from"moderate" to"high" as of Tuesday. Officials said the increased flu activity may add to an already concerning number of children being hospitalized from winter viruses, including RSV and COVID-19.

"RSV and Flu, and now COVID-19, are on the rise – leading to the hospitalization of our youngest and most vulnerable Californians who need all of us to help protect them," said Dr. Tomas Aragon, the state's Public Health Officer and CDPH Director.
