It is also important to highlight that the City of Rio is the only one that maintains a field hospital – the one at Riocentro – in operation, since units from other spheres did not even reach full operation – and that, recently, private partnerships with the government of the State of Rio demobilized field hospitals.
Municipal beds and rates
The municipal network has 881 beds for Covid-19. Of this total, 251 are ICU beds. The number of specialized beds in the network is greater than the demand for hospitalizations for treatment of the disease.
The occupancy rate of ICU beds for Covid-19 in the SUS network – which includes beds in municipal, state and federal units – is 67%. The occupancy rate *in ward beds is 45%. It is important to note that the municipal network has not closed any ICU beds.
Hospitalizations
In the municipal network units, there are 403 hospitalized patients, 200 of whom are in the ICU.
The SUS network in the capital has 732 people hospitalized in specialized beds, 357 of which are in the ICU.
There is no waiting list, as there are beds for all patients included in the regulation system.
The State Regulatory System (SR) platform is currently inoperative. For this reason, it is not possible to inform how many people are in the process of being transferred to Covid-19 beds in the SUS network of Metropolitan Region 1 – which includes the capital and municipalities of Baixada Fluminense – this Wednesday (28/10).
