There are 169 patients with Covid-19 in intensive care units, which is 10 more than on Friday. 1,229 corona patients occupy a bed in the nursing wards, 125 less than a day earlier. The number of corona patients in hospitals has been decreasing for four days in a row.
15 new patients with the corona virus were admitted to the ICs between Friday and Saturday, and 136 to the nursing wards. Because more people were allowed to leave the hospitals or have died, the total number of corona patients has nevertheless decreased.
Some of the admitted patients who have tested positive for the coronavirus were admitted in the first place for another cause. This can be, for example, people who come to the hospital for their heart or with abdominal complaints. After doing a corona test, it turns out that they happen to be positive. The LCPS makes no distinction in the daily hospital figures between patients admitted with or because of corona.
