Posted on August 3, 2023 by Dissent

NBC reports:

A cyberattack is suspected to have caused a systemwide IT problem that is forcing the Eastern Connecticut Health Network (ECHN) to divert patients from its hospital emergency rooms, according to ECHN.

The ERs are currently on a two-hour diversion, according to ECHN.

The issue is affecting the ERs at both Manchester Memorial Hospital and Rockville General Hospital.

Ambulance and EMS companies have been told to take patients to other hospitals, according to ECHN.
