The Covid prediction consortium continues to assume an increase in new corona infections. The reported figures and data from wastewater monitoring confirm the upward trend. The number of infected patients on normal wards will therefore continue to rise. In intensive care, the experts expect that the beds will remain almost the same.
In the field of regular care, an occupancy rate of 854 to 1379 occupied beds is expected across Austria on March 1 in two weeks, with an average of 1085 beds. On Tuesday, 914 infected people had to be treated in normal hospital wards. Within a week, the number had increased by 27 percent, or 192 patients.
There were 42 seriously ill people in intensive care, between 33 and 67 patients are expected here in two weeks, the average is 47 seriously ill.
“In recent days we have again had more Covid-19 admissions to the hospital. The increase was expected and will probably only be a small wave,” Arshang Valipour, chief of the Department of Internal Medicine and Pneumology at the Floridsdorf Clinic and head of the Karl Landsteiner Institute for Pulmonary Research and Pneumological Oncology, wrote on Twitter on Wednesday.
However, the lack of awareness of Corona is problematic. Many patients are puzzled because Covid-19 “no longer exists,” said the pulmonologist.
