Here are the hospitals treating the most #Covid19 patients - last night’s figures

The number of available beds in public hospitals dropping down to 349.

Hospitalisations rising by 70-80 per day at this rate.

37 ICU beds available at this point.

Of the 72 ICU patients at 18.30 last night - nearly half of them (38) were on ventilators.

BTW - you can find all of these hospital statistics publicly and it's worth looking at them.
