Ljubljana – In light of an expected rise in the number of Covid-19 hospitalisations, hospitals are taking the necessary steps to boost the number of Covid beds. Staff shortages, particularly a lack of intensive care staff, are the crux of the problem, Robert Carotta, the coordinator for Covid beds at the Health Ministry, said on Thursday.
Hospitalisation data show that there has not been any progress for a while, he told the government daily briefing.
“For practically the second month in a row we’ve been stuck on a plateau of between 1,200 and 1,300 hospitalisations.”
The epidemic projections show that Slovenia will need around 1,500 Covid beds during the third wave, up by 10% on the maximum level of bed capacities in mid-December.
