The Queensway Carleton Hospital warns patients may face longer wait times than usual in its emergency department as it deals with an influx in patients.
The hospital in Ottawa's west end is operating at 113 per cent occupancy on Wednesday, with 29 patients already admitted to the hospital without a bed.
"Unfortunately, wait times are likely to be higher than usual. Please know, the team is working hard to deliver quality care for every patient who comes through our door. We know this is frustrating for you and your loved ones. We really appreciate your patience and support."
