CONNECTICUT Since the coronavirus pandemic began in March Connecticut has reported 172,743 confirmed and probable cases, including an additional 2,038 cases in its last report which was issued on Christmas Eve.
A total of 4.1 million cases have been administered in Connecticut. On Christmas Eve the positivity rate was 5.43 percent and the number of hospitalizations increased by 45 to 1,200. On Aug. 16, there were just 42 coronavirus-related hospitalizations.
The number of new deaths reported was 55 and the total since the pandemic began is 5,791.
His hospital is about 80% full. But he’s not alarmed yet.
Yale-New Haven Hospital
Yale New Haven Hospital reported this week that 83% of its staffed inpatient beds and 78% of adult intensive care units are occupied among the highest occupancy rates in the state, according to federal data. But Mike Holmes, senior vice president of operations, isn’t alarmed – yet.
“We’re not in crisis,” said Holmes. “We’re halfway to where we were in wave one.”
Yale New Haven, and other hospitals, can adjust and adapt to an influx of patients, adding capacity and reallocating staff and resources. That means simple “occupancy rates” can paint a misleading picture of a hospital’s ability to care for new patients, and Connecticut hospitals often have more flexibility than the numbers indicate.
