After seven patients were admitted today, KHMH say, "the Covid ward is again almost at capacity and the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is full."

The KHMHA advises the public that the facility has reached a critical point where patient admissions are concerned. This crisis has been recurring over the past few weeks due to the alarming Covid-19 community spread, especially in Belize City and the Belize District.

The Covid ward is again almost at capacity and the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is full. We have admitted seven Covid patients today and are evaluating more patients for possible admission. This situation restricts our ability to admit additional patients, and that has been communicated to the relevant authorities at the Ministry of Health and Wellness.

We regret the inconvenience this will cause to the public and will endeavour to resolve this issue as soon as possible. We appreciate the cooperation of the public as together we go through this difficult time.

We encourage persons who are eligible to be vaccinated to do so, and to help us by avoiding the risk of becoming critically ill with severe Covid-19 infection.
