Patients in hospitals rose again

The number of corona patients in hospitals has risen again. A total of 311 people with corona are now in hospital. This is evident from figures from the National Coordination Center for Patient Distribution (LCPS). In the past 24 hours, 42 patients were added to the nursing wards and two to the IC.

There were 284 corona patients in hospitals on Saturday, 265 and 230 on Thursday. Because the number of positive tests has risen sharply lately, despite today’s slight decrease, the LCPS expects it to become busier in the coming time on the ICUs and on the ICU. nursing wards. Ernst Kuipers, chairman of the National Network for Acute Care, said earlier this week that he takes into account that the total number of admitted corona patients will rise to approximately 800.
