A much faster rate of exhaustion and filling the capacity of hospitals for intensive care is observed in the current COVID wave.
The total number
admitted to hospitals
remains under
the extreme
spring levels
even after two consecutive days with the horrifying nearly 6 and nearly 7,000 infected. As of October 27, however, there were a total of 7,325 hospitalized, while in April there were more than 10,000.
However, hospitals in many places are already suffocating, because in the current delta wave the beds for the most severe cases are filled very quickly. There are currently 608 people in intensive care – only 164 less than the record in April, when 3,000 more patients were hospitalized.

In the hospital
