LHSC spared ICU onslaught...for now

LONDON, ONT. --
Intensive Care Units across the province are being stretched to their limits with COVID-19 patients, but so far London area hospitals have avoided the worst of it.
That could soon change, however, warns the Chief of Medicine for London Health Sciences Centre.
“Although we’re relatively spared today, I think it will be a very different story by this time next week,” said Dr. Adam Dukelow.
The latest Critical Care Services Ontario report, obtained by CTV News, showed there are currently 421 patients with COVID-19 in intensive care units (ICUs) across the province.
The total marks the highest number of COVID-19 patients in critical care at one time since the pandemic began. The last time the ICU admission total surpassed 400 was in January during the height of the pandemic’s second wave.
