CSK noted a decrease in the number of covid patients two days ago, but on Thursday it had increased again. The hospital has gone from 73 to 76 covid patients. The situation in the ICU however, is unchanged; there are still ten patients being treated there.

Mats Molt, Deputy Hospital Manager at CSK, describes the situation as strained.

– We have increased the capacity of the ICU so that we can take in more patients if needed. We don’t want to comment on how many patients we can take in there, he says.
