This figure increased from three recorded as “critical” last Feb. 19, consisting of 149 hospitals.

Of the hospitals under “critical” level, only the Mary Chiles General Hospital Inc. has reached 100 percent bed occupancy.

The DOH classifies occupancy levels for COVID-19 beds in health centers as either critical, high risk, moderate, and safe.

Under the critical level, hospitals have already reached more than 85 percent of its bed occupancy for COVID-19 patients.

Hospitals are classified as high risk if 70 percent but not more than 85 percent of its COVID-19 beds are occupied.

Hospitals with a COVID-19 bed capacity of from 60 to 70 percent rate are classified as moderate.

And hospitals fall under the “safe” level if bed utilization rate is less than 60 percent.
