Dr. Segarra’s Baptist Health South Florida hospital system on Monday reported 726 patients with COVID-19 in their 10 hospitals. They have opened up four COVID-19 units over the last three weeks. Critical care has doubled in that time and 90% in the ICU are not vaccinated, according to Dr. Segarra.
Monday’s number at Baptist is a 47% increase from last week, per a spokesman.
“We are preparing for a couple weeks more. But what is the end game? What is the end result? I don’t know,” Dr. Segarra said.
