[Thread] This is going to be a long one, but here's what we've learnt in the last 24 hours about #COVID19 and children in T&T.
Quotes are from Dr. Joanne Paul, Senior Pediatric Emergency Medicine Specialist at the EWMSC.
There have been 65 MIS-C cases in T&T since March 2020 to present. Since September 2021, when vaccines were rolled out to 12-17-year-olds, there have been no MIS-C cases in that age group.

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.
