On Mondays, these numbers are often higher than the rest of the week, because fewer patients are discharged on weekends. There are currently 1,308 corona patients in the nursing wards, 118 more than on Sunday. In the intensive care units, this number actually decreased, from 7 to 162.
In the past 24 hours, 107 new corona patients were admitted to the nursing wards. 10 patients with corona were brought in on the ICUs.
Some of the admitted patients who tested positive for the coronavirus were admitted primarily for another cause. This could be people with heart problems or stomach complaints, for example. After doing a corona test, it happens to be positive. The LCPS makes no distinction in the daily hospital figures between patients admitted with or because of corona.
