Expert: ICU situation manageable if infections stay under 500 a day

Anyone in need of an ICU bed next month will have one, Hellenic Intensive Care Society president Αnna Kotanidou assured on Friday, speaking to Athens-Macedonian News Agency. She also added that “we are trying […] to create more beds and if necessary to turn other units into intensive care units for COVID-19.”

She pointed out that the situation is “manageable for the time being,” adding that provisions are made so that “if ICUs for Covid-19 fill up by the end of this week, another 43 beds in multi-purpose ICUs may be put to use as of next week. For the time being, we have enough available ICU beds.” The situation in ICU bed availability outside of the Attica Region is excellent, she said, noting in terms of ICU beds, “There is only slight pressure there”.
