Covid and critical care: hospitals in the Loire saturate

As a result of the high incidence levels for several weeks in Auvergne Rhône-Alpes, very high hospital tensions have been observed, especially in critical care. And the highest hospitalization rates and admission rates to critical care services for COVID-19 are observed in Loire, Rhône, Isère and Puy-de-Dôme.

The regional incidence rate is 405 per 100,000 inhabitants and therefore seems to stabilize in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes after four weeks of increase, while the detection rate is decreasing (-21%). The positivity rate increases to 10.2%.

In the Loire, the incidence rate is 514/100 000 inhabitants (April 12).

On April 16, 514 people were hospitalized for covid in the Loire, including 79 in intensive care. 1,182 people have died of the disease in hospital since the start of the pandemic. To this figure, we must add 922 deaths in nursing homes.
