Hospital admissions, intubations and hundreds of people flocking to hospitals test the resilience of the system

Intensive care beds are difficult to find and hospital administrations are converting surgeries into units so that patients can be treated with mechanical support.

In the last pipelines there are two policemen from Kilkis, who are only 39 years old.

Yesterday in AHEPA and Gennimata there were 100 hospital admissions for coronavirus, while in the 200 rapid tests carried out in Thessaloniki, 40 were positive.

Intubation every 40 minutes

The coronavirus statistics are unforgiving. An intubation is performed every 40 minutes, while every 20 minutes there is an admission for treatment in the country’s hospitals.

There are currently more than 400 people in the ICU, while many are young.

According to the information, the current number of deaths to be announced is high, since so far, 42 people have lost their lives.

Hospitals across the country are “on their knees”

Warning sign from doctors for Larissa hospitals, where 168 patients are treated and there is only one ICU bed available in the city.

The unit in Trikala is also full where one of the 10 beds is empty. In Karditsa, transfers of patients to other hospitals have already begun, with 2 patients having been transferred to the ICU in Chalkida.

The next few days are crucial for the health system as if cases and admissions are not reduced, one hospital after another would collapse like a domino.
