On the one hand, it is a snapshot, the actual situation in the clinic is constantly changing.
Covid-19 patients currently only make up a quarter to a third of the intensive care beds that are occupied - this would include, for example, after-surgery care and other complex clinical pictures.
The clinic, Kreissl continues, is walking a “sensitive balancing act.
On the one hand, his house wants to “do 100 percent justice” to the care of coronavirus patients, and on the other hand it is important to maintain normal care - and use the available staff accordingly.
