The state of São Paulo has, on Thursday (4), the lowest number of hospitalized in ICUs (intensive care units) because of Covid-19 since April 2020, the period when the pandemic began. There are currently 1,463 patients, according to the State Health Department.
São Paulo also has 1,697 coronavirus patients in infirmary beds, totaling 3,160 people hospitalized with Covid. This number is also the lowest since April 2020.
During the peak of the second wave, in March of this year, the state had more than 31,000 patients hospitalized with Covid – 12,946 in ICUs and 18,095 in the ward.
According to the Health Department, ICU bed occupancy rates are also among the lowest in the history of the pandemic, with 25.6% in the state in general and 34% in Greater São Paulo. In March, bed occupancy rates were 92.3% and 92.6%, respectively.
The city of São Paulo also registered this week its lowest numbers in relation to Covid since the beginning of the pandemic. This Wednesday (3), 339 people were hospitalized in the municipal network, 186 in ICUs and 153 in the infirmary.
The state recorded, on Thursday, 124 deaths by Covid, after a sequence of five days with daily numbers below one hundred.
The capital of São Paulo, on Wednesday, counted two deaths, a number similar to that of Tuesday (2). The city government even reported that there had been only one death from the disease on Monday (1), but the city’s Health Department updated it for five.
On holidays and weekends, notifications are often repressed, which explains the revision of the numbers of cases and deaths across the country.
