In T&T, for every 100 positive cases, we're admitting 10 of those patients while we're only discharging ~2 patients for every 100.

There is a net gain of 8 patients for every 100 cases on a daily basis. - Dr. Maryam Abdool Richards
As of yesterday, 67 additional beds were reactivated at the Arima General Hospital. Overnight, 10 of those beds are already in use.

Bed capacity at Couva has been increased by 50.
Augustus Long Hospital has been transitioned to treat confirmed COVID-19 positive cases, adding 48 more beds to the hospital system.

As of 10 AM May 1st, the overall hospital occupancy is 24%. Without the added beds, our current total hospital capacity would be close to 37-40%
Ward level capacity is at 42%, ICU at 21%, and HDU at 25%
Clarifying: these statistics were for the entire hospital system at large, not just Augustus Long Hospital!
