ICU cases hit new peak in French coronavirus surge
The Hindu
Doctors are increasingly sounding the alarm that they may have to start turning patients away for ICU care, particularly in the Paris region.
The number of patients in intensive care in France on Monday surpassed the worst point of the country’s last coronavirus surge in the autumn of 2020, another indicator of how a renewed crush of infections is bearing down on French hospitals. The French government’s count of COVID-19 patients in ICUs and hospital surveillance units climbed to 4,974 on Monday. That is past the last high-point of 4,919 ICU cases on November 16, when France was also gripped by a virus surge and was locked down in response.More Related News
