Against the backdrop of the rapid spread of “omicron” in St. Petersburg since the beginning of the year, the hospitalization of children has almost tripled, according to the city health committee. From January 3 to January 9, 93 children were brought to hospitals with coronavirus infection, next week – 126, and from January 17 to January 23 – 246 children.
In Smolny they report that the children’s hospital. N.F. Filatov will be completely re-profiled to receive young patients with covid. The number of beds will also be increased at the Pediatric University.
At the same time, judging by the daily report of the Komzdrav, the overall figures for daily hospitalization did not increase so much: 383 people were brought to hospitals. During the “delta” wave, the peak was on October 21 – 587 per day, and in July it reached a thousand. At the same time, the daily incidence in the city breaks records and reaches 8-9 thousand cases.
Statistics prove that “omicron” spreads very quickly, but is much easier to carry. At the same time, the new option affects children much more often, as Rosbalt wrote in detail earlier.
The city now has 1,797 free beds: the vast majority of people are treated for covid on an outpatient basis – 48,416 people.
