LISBON, Portugal — Portugal’s prime minister says more than half of the country’s intensive care beds earmarked for COVID-19 patients are occupied.
Prime Minister Antonio Costa says the public health service currently has 704 ICU beds to cope with the new coronavirus pandemic, and 433 are taken.
Costa told broadcaster TVI that the number of ICU beds can be increased to 944, but that would affect the care of other patients.
The number of COVID-19 hospital admissions in Portugal has surged from 350 on Sept. 1 to more than 2,650.
Portugal has a 14-day cumulative number of 590 cases COVID-19 cases per 100,000 population, placing it 12th highest in the ranking of 31 European countries by the European Centre for Disease Control.
