The Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (Fiocruz) warns that "the general picture of the country remains extremely critical" in the country, with 17 states and the Federal District with more than 90% of occupied ICUs (see below).
The situation is worse than two weeks ago, when Fiocruz warned that Brazil is going through the "biggest health and hospital collapse in history" . At the time, 15 states had an occupancy of over 90% .
Tuesday's bulletin (30) highlights that "states reveal difficulties to increase the number of ICU beds Covid-19 in order to meet the sharp growth in demand".
It also warns that "essential supplies and drugs for patients with Covid-19 and other health problems have also become a major concern in view of the prospect of exhaustion".
States with Covid-19 ICU bed occupancy rates for adults over 90%:
• North: Amapá (100%), Rondônia (98%), Acre (97%) and Tocantins (97%)
• Northeast: Pernambuco (97%), Piauí (96%), Rio Grande do Norte (95%) and Ceará (94%)
• Midwest: Mato Grosso do Sul (100%), Mato Grosso (97%), Federal District (97%) and Goiás (94%)
• Southeast: Minas Gerais (94%), Espírito Santo (94%) and São Paulo (92%)
• South: Santa Catarina (99%), Rio Grande do Sul (95%) and Paraná (93%)
Another 7 states have rates above 80% ( critical alert zone ):
• North: Pará (85%)
• Northeast: Maranhão (88%), Alagoas (86%), Sergipe (86%), Bahia (86%) and Paraíba (84%)
• Southeast : Rio de Janeiro (88%)
The Covid-19 Observatory bulletin on Tuesday (30) warns that only Amazonas (76%) and Roraima (62%) are not in the critical alert zone.
Despite the less serious situation in the two states, Fiocruz points out that "both have also gone through the critical alert zone for several moments, and Manaus has already had two moments of collapse in the health system".
