Regardless of the Covid-19 epidemic that continues to rage in France, hospital capacities continue to decline inexorably: a study by the Ministry of Health published this Wednesday, September 29, 2021 reveals that in 2020, more than 5,700 hospital beds complete were closed in France. A situation which could be explained by “the context of the epidemic” with “many double rooms transformed into single rooms to limit contagion”.
In the midst of the health crisis linked to Covid-19, still fewer beds available in the hospital.

Same thing for hospitalization at home, up 10.8% in 2020, with 21,276 patients “who can be taken care of simultaneously on the territory”, explains the ministry. Meanwhile, fortunately, hospitalizations related to Covid-19 are down in France. Hope it lasts…
