COVID-19
Hospital in new york
The hospital bed numbers provided by the Cuomo administration provide a snapshot of how close New York City was on Thursday to running out of space to treat the sick, whether they are suffering from COVID-19 or not. More than 42% of ICU beds in New York City were in use Thursday by coronavirus-positive patients. People are discharged, patients enter and leave the ICU as their level of care changes, and some die. As the city's existing bed capacity is reaching its limits, state and municipal officials are working 24 hours to expand the number of hospital beds before the expected wave of COVID-19 patients floods the care system. medical. Hospitals across the state earlier this week increased their capacity by at least 50% to address the impending shortage.
Up to 140,000 hospital beds will be required, including 40,000 ICU beds. That's higher than the roughly 53,000 ICU hospitals and 3,000 beds the state previously had, according to Cuomo. And de Blasio said his goal is to triple the number of hospital beds in the city to 60,000 by May.
