Antrim Area Hospital is "operating beyond capacity" due to the number of patients needing to be admitted.
The Northern Trust has issued a statement saying that there were 27 sick people who were awaiting admission into the hospital and asked people only to attend the Emergency Department if they require "urgent care".
The Trust has said that we are "clearly in the midst of a second surge" of Covid-19, with many sick people requiring care.
A Northern Trust spokesperson said: "Antrim Area Hospital is currently operating beyond capacity. Due to beds being unavailable, 27 sick people are awaiting admission. Please do not attend the ED unless you require urgent medical care.
"As we are clearly in the midst of the second COVID surge with many very ill patients in our hospital, we are asking all patients who are fit to be discharged and assessed as requiring a community bed to accept the first bed identified as being available."
