The number of people recovered continues to decline, currently standing at 90%; 15 hospitals do not have ICU beds available
Information from the State Government indicates that this Saturday (28) had the highest increase in Covid-19 cases, with 9,523 in a single epidemiological bulletin.
According to information from the State Department of Health, the critical number has nothing to do with tests of dams or technical problems, being a demonstration of the progress of the pandemic.

The increase is practically 50% higher than the previous record, since the penultimate Friday (20), when 6,100 cases were confirmed.
The state now has 355 thousand cases of the new coronavirus, of which about 90% are recovered, and 30 thousand patients have the active virus, the highest number so far.
Additionally, there are 3,700 deaths, 35 of which were included in this update.
As a result, the Santa Catarina scenario, which was no longer favorable, shows an additional number that should influence the measures of the state and municipal administrations.
At the moment, most specialists consider discharge as a phenomenon that results from breaks in social isolation, especially on holidays and events, considering the existence of clandestine parties.
In the last week, the State beat the record of confirmed cases three times and last Wednesday (25) the map of potential risk was updated.
Now, 13 of the 16 regions are at very serious potential risk, the most critical on the scale, with only three previously.
The focus of the disease remains in the capital, which adds 31,545 cases of Covid-19, being considered the new epicenter of the virus by some experts.
Then, in confirmed cases:
- Joinville: 29,979
- Blumenau: 19,915
- San Jose: 17,502
- Cricklewood: 12,233
- Field: 11,789
- Camboriu Spa: 11,620
- Itajaí: 11,318
Greater number of overcrowded hospitals
Since the State began to confirm more than 2,000 cases per day in epidemiological bulletins, representing a new wave of the state pandemic, the occupancy rate of ICUs (Intensive Care Units) has increased.
Currently 87% of beds are occupied, the highest rate yet. In other words, the State has 1,438 active beds, but 1,253 are occupied, of which 575 are Covid-19 patients.
Currently, this leaves 185 free beds throughout the territory of Santa Catarina. But even with almost 200 beds available, the state has 15 hospitals that are completely full, with no ICU beds available.
Fully reserved units:
- Bethesda Hospital in Joinville
- Hospital Bom Jesus, in Ituporanga
- Bom Jesus dos Passos Charity Hospital in Laguna
- Tereza Ramos Hospital and Maternity Hospital, in Lages
- Governador Celso Ramos Hospital, Florianópolis
- Hélio Anjos Ortiz Hospital, in Curitibanos
- Nossa Senhora da Immaculada Conceição Hospital, in Nova Trento
- Helmuth Nass Regional Hospital, in Biguaçu
- São Paulo Regional Hospital, in Xanxerê
- Hospital Santa Cruz, in Canoinhas
- Hospital Santa Teresinha, in Braço do Norte
- São Braz Hospital, in Porto União
- São José Hospital, in Jaraguá do Sul
- Waldomiro Colautti Hospital, in Ibirama
- Darcy Vargas Maternity, in Joinville
Three of the units do not have Covid-19 patients and another three have all their beds occupied by patients with the virus.
In regional terms, the South and the Serra and Midwest of Santa Catarina add up to the most critical indexes, both with 89% of global occupancy.
In the state mapping, which indicates 13 of the 16 regions of Santa Catarina as in the most serious state, there are nine that are capable of close attention to the limit.
The variable measures the region’s capacity to care for patients, and Foz do Rio Itajaí and the Far West of Santa Catarina are the only regions with reduced risk.
Social isolation above average
As a reflection of the data collected on Friday (17), 36.6% of Santa Catarina residents were at home, a rate that is above the national average, which is 35.4%.
The data is from the In Loco platform, which maps 1.5 million residents of Santa Catarina through a smartphone.
In the ranking of states, Santa Catarina is ranked 11, and the leaders are the states of Acre (41%), Amazonas (40%) and Ceará (38%).
It is worth mentioning that isolation breaks were the main reason cited by health experts when asked about the highs of this and last week, which occurred a few days after the vacation with crowded beaches.
