Nine states register more than 90% of the occupancy of ICU beds for covid-19, warns a Fiocruz bulletin published today. According to the laboratory, it is the first time since the beginning of the pandemic that there has been a simultaneous worsening of several indicators in Brazil, such as the high number of cases and deaths, and the high positivity of tests and hospital overload.
Among the states with a high rate of capacity in hospital ICUs are: Santa Catarina (99%), Rondônia (97%), Ceará (93%), Pernambuco (93%), Acre (92%), Amazonas (92% ). )), Paraná (92%), Rio Grande do Norte (91%) and the Federal District (91%). Of the northern states, only Amapá (64%) remains in an intermediate zone.
Seven other states have a rate between 63% and 76%. In the entire country, only Sergipe is outside the alert zone, with 59% bed occupancy.
Today, for the fourth day in a row, Brazil had the highest moving average of deaths since the start of the pandemic: 1,274. Since yesterday, the country has tended to accelerate again compared to 14 days ago. Today the increase was 23%.

Fiocruz
In its bulletin, Fiocruz also highlighted that, in some Brazilian states, the occupancy rates of private hospitals are even higher than those of the SUS (Unified Health System).
As a measure to suppress the pandemic, Fiocruz cites the adoption of stricter restrictions on the movement of people and also in relation to the operation of non-essential activities. The laboratory also asks that the epidemiological situation of each region be taken into account and that evaluations be carried out weekly “based on technical criteria such as bed occupancy rates and a growing trend in the number of cases and deaths.”
