Emergency rooms in Quebec hospitals are overflowing this holiday season as the flu spreads across the province. Earlier this month, the agency described the flu as being "widespread" in the province. The occupancy rate in Quebec hospitals is exceeding 100 per cent capacity in many cases, La Presse Canadienne has learned. "Our emergency rooms are really overloaded." Last year around this time, the situation was similar as emergency rooms across the province reported being over capacity due to the flu.
