Just under four weeks. Until then, there should be enough beds in the intensive care units in Switzerland to accommodate all the Covid patients in need. Then in mid-November, the end is: capacity limits have been reached, each of the around 1,600 intensive care beds will be occupied, if crown numbers continue to rise as fast as they currently are.
