Hospital discharge has increased markedly. Only in the last two days, 928 people were discharged while 428 were admitted to hospitals," Vasiliev's words are quoted on the website.
According to him, there are enough places in hospitals. "35% of the bed fund is free for COVID-19. Medicines and personal protective equipment are sufficient. Our doctors know how to treat it, and they have developed a lot of practice. The number of people tested every day exceeds 5 thousand, which allows you to start treatment on time. Today, there is a much smaller number of seriously ill people who are on artificial ventilation, and the number of deaths is also decreasing," the head of the region added.
