Number of COVID-19 patients drops by half at UW Medicine facilities
SEATTLE - The number of patients undergoing treatment for COVID-19 in UW Medicine's four hospitals has dropped to about half the level seen at the peak of the outbreak, officials there said.
On Friday, UW Medicine had 59 coronavirus-positive patients, down from an average of about 120 per day a month ago.
“Things have been slowly getting better,” said Dr. Eileen Bulger, UW Medicine's chief of trauma. “We still have a lot of very sick patients, but the numbers are slowly coming down.”
The COVID-19 intensive care unit at Harborview Medical Center has condensed and is down to just 18 beds. On Friday, 12 of those beds were occupied with the most critical patients.
