abc.net.au/news/ambulance-code-red-in-melbourne/101730286Ambulance Victoria activated another code red in the early hours of Saturday morning as extreme demand put paramedics under pressure.Off-duty staff were called in to deal with the surge in calls and non-emergency vehicles were used for calloutsA surge in calls just before midnight in Metropolitan Melbourne forced Ambulance Victoria to escalate its response plan for several hours.
Victoria's health department yesterday reported 54 deaths from COVID-19 over the previous week, and 26,971 new cases of the virus.Victorian Ambulance Union secretary Danny Hill said the system had been under strain for some time and paramedics were exhausted. "They've escalated to code orange almost every night over the past several weeks and it's happening in conjunction with the Omicron wave that we're seeing which is causing major strain on the hospitals."
"The vast majority of the cases they're attending to and being sent to are patients that don't need any form of paramedic care," he said.the Victorian Ambulance Union said the strain on the paramedic workforce during the pandemic had grossly affected morale.

Finally abc catches up to the real news but only after the election
Amazed the ABC couldn’t find a story like this before the election. danprotectionracket
Ambulance cover for family $99.88 1 year GP visit $95 now no more bulk billing Guess where I’m going next time I need a doctor 🚑🚑🚑🚑
I hope the vaccinated keep taking their boosters to keep us safe. Thank you 🙏
ABCemergency we're 10 years behind where we need to be thanks to DanielAndrewsMP and his team. Well done dan, you promised more ambos, now deliver 100 more of them (about what we need and that you've NEGLECTED to create over your 10 years of tyrany.
Thanks but you hardly do any reporting on the current covid wave. What about the weekly cases and death numbers? Or has Albo stopped you reporting on covid?
People need to get their covid booster, that will help ease the load on ambos... lol
Many are calling paramedics unnecessarily. Why? Panic ? Not taking medication?
Well Victorians voted for more of the same...
Great to see the COVID19 pandemic, which Scott Morrison and Dominic Perrette said was over is not having a Nationwide impact!
Obviously people just read the headline, they don't know that 140 Ambos are out due to covid.
It’s so good that Australian health and ages care workers who chose not to get a jab to stop the spread are still being banned from working. We must punish them before save lives as sick people cost government too much money anyway. So good that Labor have cut hospital funding to
ABCemergency Nothing to see here. Ambos need to wear hard hats then they will recognised
It’s what Victorians wanted 👍
Voting for Dan has consequences.
The people voted, getting an ambulance is not important but sponsoring a netball team is what the people want.
