Crown numbers are still high. The Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH) reported 9,409 new infections today. 231 people had to be admitted back to the hospital. In addition, 70 people with crowns died.
In hospitals, it is not only intensive care beds that are in short supply. It is also tight with qualified nursing staff. If nothing changes, there could be no more vacant intensive care places across the country by the end of the week. Doctors would then have to decide who they can continue to treat and who they can no longer treat.
In western Switzerland, hospitals are already overloaded. You have to transfer crown patients to other parts of the country. Federal Councilor Alain Berset (48) has been preaching for days that all hospitals do not have to postpone urgent operations to avoid overloading the health system.
