It’s implausible that an increase that sudden at that time is not in the main driven by Covid.
Chris Whitty said Omicron cases steep rise in South Africa was now translating into increased cases in hospitals. He said there was some data suggesting “around about a 300% increase in hospitalisations over the last week” there.

People being admitted to hospital get tested for covid, whatever they go in for. As cases rise in the community the amount of people going to hospital being infected increases. Whether that is cause they were in a car accident, stabbed or broke a leg. The actual amount of people being admitted to hospital (all causes) has not increased.
Maybe check out the coronavirus thread. Got hospital reports, news reports from sa the lot.
