Discharge from hospitalizations
The number of new hospitalizations confirmed by Covid-19 caught the attention of the team that monitors the indicators. Between the last two weeks, the increase was 21% -from 739 to 897-, which reflected the increase of 13% of patients hospitalized in clinical beds confirmed with Covid-19. The number of deaths increased 11% between the last two weeks, from 213 to 236.
However, hospitalizations for severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in the ICU decreased by 7% and there was relative stability in those confirmed with Covid-19 in the ICU (increase of only 1%). Even counting patients hospitalized for other causes, there was a decrease in the number of occupied ICU beds. The maintenance of the total number of ICU beds again translated into an increase in the proportion of free beds for each occupied by Covid-19.
