All intensive care unit (ICU) beds are currently occupied at four hospitals in Pinellas County, Florida, as the state continues to see a record spike in new cases and hospitalizations related to the novel coronavirus.
Mease Dunedin Hospital, AdventHealth North Pinellas, Morton Plant Hospital and St. Petersburg General Hospital had reached their maximum ICU bed capacities by Sunday, according to data published by the Florida Agency for Healthcare Administration (AHCA). The data showed five additional Pinellas County hospitals approached their respective ICU capacities on Sunday, with each reporting fewer than 15 percent of beds available. Overall, about 86 percent of ICU beds in Pinellas County were occupied.
In total, there are 11 hospitals across Pinellas County—located west of Tampa along Florida's Gulf Coast—with resources to treat ICU patients.
The AHCA's latest update was released as Florida health officials confirm a statewide surge in new COVID-19 cases, as well as subsequent hospitalizations. On Saturday, the Florida Department of Health (DOH) reported a new record increase in diagnoses confirmed daily, with almost 11,500 cases. Unlike other states, the Florida DOH does not release ongoing data regarding hospital and ICU admissions related to the novel virus. Governor Ron DeSantis called for changes to the state's reporting of virus-related hospitalization numbers at the end of June.
