It is now eight patients less than 24 hours ago. Ten new patients with corona were admitted to an IC, but because more people died or were allowed to leave the wards, the occupation fell.
In total, there are still 1,391 people with a corona infection in hospitals. That is a decrease of twenty patients compared to Thursday.
There are currently 1,244 corona patients in the nursing wards, twelve fewer than 24 hours ago. 153 new people with a corona infection were admitted, but because even more patients left the wards, the occupancy still fell.
The LCPS does not distinguish between patients who have been admitted because of their corona infection and people who are in hospital for something else, but who also happened to be infected. The coordination center emphasizes that it does not matter for the pressure on hospital care who is in hospital with or because of corona. All patients with corona have to be nursed in isolation, which takes a lot of extra time.
