Packed Los Angeles hospitals placing patients in gift shops: report

© Getty As coronavirus cases surge in Southern California, some Los Angeles County hospitals have been forced to use gift shop space, the Los Angeles Times reported. In addition to using gift shops and conference rooms, nearly every hospital in the county has been forced to reroute some ambulances carrying patients, according to the newspaper. More than 90 percent of county hospitals that take patients based on 911 calls were forced to divert some ambulances on Sunday. Occupancy in the county’s intensive care unit has broken records for more than 14 consecutive days. On Sunday, the most recent day for which data has been made public, the county had 1,449 intensive care patients. The pace of daily net patient increases is down slightly from mid-December. The county had a total of 54 available intensive care beds as of Monday.
