Health Board emergency medicine chief Urmas Sule said that the need for coronavirus treatment in hospital has not decreased evenly across Estonia and an increase can be seen in the rate of older people who have been hospitalized.
"The situation in hospitals is stable. We are all waiting for the hospital treatment figures to fall as fast as general infection has, but it has unfortunately not happened with hospitalization. This shows that the disease continues to be very serious and that there is a danger that people who get infected can fall seriously ill," Sule told ERR on Monday.
"If we look four weeks behind, our record day - we had 727 patients on stationary treatment on April 5. That number is 407 today and it seems quite small already. But the need for intensive care remains very high. We have 62 patients on third-level intensive care units and 41 of those are under assisted breathing," Sule noted.

West Tallinn Central Hospital
West Tallinn Central Hospital has opened COVID-19 vaccination appointments to all people over the age of 18 who belong to a risk group, and to everyone born in 1956 and earlier.
Vaccination is taking place with the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine Comirnaty.
Information about belonging to a risk group can be found from the opening page of the Patient Portal at www.digilugu.ee under the heading "My data". A person's family doctor can also give information about belonging to a risk group.

At the same time, the a lack of clarity regarding the amount of the subsidy doesn't mean that the hospital won't receive any recovery funding whatsoever, Kõlvart said.
"As much as I have understood from Brussel's signals, the issue isn't Tallinn Hospital's suitability, but the fact that the share of European money is too big. The promised â¬380 million seems to be unrealistic. It probably means that the subsidy will be reduced," Kõlvart said.
