ICU Beds in District 10 Continue to Fill Up, Thursday's Numbers are Worse Than Wednesday's

BY: DAVID SHEPHERD, NEWS DIRECTOR

AREA WIDE -- District 10 ICU beds are filling up and the numbers are going in the wrong direction. 

In District 10, about 10% of the ICU beds were available as of the latest update.  That's down from over 11% Wednesday.

That amounts to around 220 open ICU beds for the entire district, which includes Dubois, Daviess, Martin, Pike, Perry, and Spencer Counties and points west.

Around 74% of the district’s ventilators are currently available.  That’s around 350 machines.

To preserve hospital bed and staff capacity, all non-emergent procedures should be postponed through January 3rd, if possible.
