The worst spreading of the virus expected to take place over the next 3 weeks. FMTNews Madrid Covid19 Coronavirus
MADRID: The number of confirmed coronavirus infections jumped in the Madrid region overnight, testing the limits of the healthcare system, officials said on Wednesday, after a senior doctor warned intensive care units could be running out of beds.
“The healthcare services, although they are responding, are doing so under very significant stress, something that we have to limit for the rest of the territory,” Simon said, and this was the main objective of a batch of newly announced measures. On Wednesday evening the Ministry of Culture announced the closure of all state-run museums in Madrid, including the Prado and Reina Sofia, “until further notice”.
Madrid hospitals have received 81% of the patients admitted to intensive care because of coronavirus across the country, Simon said. The infections in Madrid were more serious than in other regions where those infected tend to be younger and to have caught it from people who travelled abroad.
