The capacity limit for Covid-19 patients was reached at the first hospital in Vienna. The Favoriten Clinic (formerly Kaiser-Franz-Josef Spital) no longer accepts intensive care or normal patients. A report in the daily “Österreich” (Saturday) was confirmed by the press spokesman for the Vienna Health Association, Markus Pederiva of the APA. However, he stressed that there are still enough beds in other hospitals.
According to the spokesman for the Vienna City Medical Crisis Team, 180 Covid-19 patients are currently in the hospital in the federal capital, 22 of them need intensive medical care. A total of 400 normal beds and 150 in intensive care units are available for coronavirus patients who must be treated in hospital, Pederiva said.
The patients had been treated at Klinik Favoriten since the start of the coronavirus pandemic. In January, the Covid-19 patients were treated there in the fourth medical department. He specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of such viral diseases.
Vienna: More Clinics Available for Crown Patients
According to Pederiva, there is no reason to worry that the Covid station is full now. SARS-CoV-2 sufferers would be taken to the Floridsdorf (formerly KH Nord) and Ottakring clinics, there are enough beds available in the Covid wards there. Currently a Covid station is also being prepared at the Hietzing Clinic. As soon as the occupancy rate is 80 percent in an existing one, the next one will be prepared, Pederiva said. “If necessary, additional beds can be made immediately available for Covid patients,” said the spokesman for the health association (formerly KAV).
Anschober: 110 intensive care patients at the end of the month
“For weeks the number of hospitalizations was decoupled from the growing number of infections due to the significantly lower average age of those who tested positive,” Anschober said in a broadcast, “this now seems to be changing step by step.” According to the minister, the forecasts for intensive care patients are “clearly upward” and assume around 110 intensive care patients by the end of the month.
