PHOENIX â The Arizona Department of Health Services reported the fewest number of available ICU beds statewide Thursday since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.
According to the state's coronavirus dashboard, 140, or 8%, of ICU beds remain available statewide. However, where those beds are located is information that has not been released publicly by the state.
ABC15 continues to hear from health officials and frontline workers who say there are few - if any - available ICU beds at their facilities. Detailed information on where some available beds are located is seemingly easier to obtain at the local level than the state level, despite the information being reported to the Department of Health Services.
