State logs 249 new cases, two deaths
The number of ICU beds occupied by COVID-19 patients in government and private hospitals across the State has dropped to less than 1,000. At the peak of the second wave in April this year, over 4,100 COVID patients were in ICUs, but now the number has dropped to 900-950. Before the second wave set in, less than 200 cases were being detected daily and around 350 COVID patients were in ICUs on any given day. The second wave started to decline in June, and so did the bed occupancy in hospitals. By the end of August, around 1,000 COVID patients were in ICUs on any given day. This has dropped to around 900 this month.
