The reduction has been 96,5% in hospitalizations in the ward. In fact, to date, the Valencian Community is the autonomous community with the lowest percentage of hospitalization due to COVID in all of Spain (1,36%) and the second in ICU bed occupancy (4,11%), behind the city autonomous region of Melilla, according to the latest update from the Ministry of Health.
The month of January closed with 670 people in the Valencian ICUs. To date, the hospitals of the Valencian Community serve 40 people in their ICUs (-94%).
In fact, a total of 14 hospitals in the Valencian network have one or no person admitted in critical condition due to coronavirus, according to the latest available data.
Of these centers, two are from the province of Castellón (hospital Comarcal of Vinaròs and General University Hospital of Castelló); five are in Valencia (Hospital de Manises, Hospital General de Requena, Hospital Universitario Doctor Peset, Hospital Francesc de Borja and Hospital Lluís Alcanyís) and the remaining seven are from the province of Alicante (Hospital de la Marina Baixa, Hospital General Universitario de Elche , Torrevieja University Hospital, Virgen de Los Lirios Hospital, Elda General University Hospital, Dénia Hospital and Vinalopó University Hospital).
Regarding the situation in the hospitalization floors, on January 25 there were 4.777 patients and, currently, 168. Specifically, there are five centers that have one or no person with COVID 19 on the floor: Ontinyent General Hospital, Virgen Hospital de Los Lirios, Vinalopó University Hospital, Requena General Hospital and Torrevieja University Hospital.
These levels of occupation in the plant, which, although encouraging, should not lower our guard because the pandemic continues to be active, they had not been registered since last August.
In the last month, the occupancy reduction in ICU beds has been 48% (from 77 people with coronavirus to 40) and 55% in the ward (from 374 to 168).
