COVID-19 Patients In Lapangan Indrapura Surabaya Hospital Soared By 200 Percent

SURABAYA - Lapangan Indrapura Hospital (RSLI) Surabaya, East Java, was filled with COVID-19 patients. Currently, there are as many as 106 patients being treated, an increase of 200 percent over the previous only about 25-35 patients.

"The increase is more than 200 percent, from two to three weeks after Eid. There are currently 106 patients being treated at the RSLI", said RSLI Surabaya Person in Charge, First Admiral, I Dewa Gede Nalendra Djaya Iswara, confirmed, Thursday, June 3.

According to Nalendra, the 106 COVID-19 patients consisted of 49 men and 57 women. COVID-19 patients at RSLI continue to increase two to three weeks after Eid al-Fitr, but not as much as in 2020.

For example, in the second week of Eid, the number of patients at RSLI increased to 23 people, then increased again to an average of 34 people in the third week of Eid. In fact, said Nalendra, in the first week after Eid, the number of COVID-19 patients had decreased to an average of 13 people.

"Although there is an increase in the capacity of the RSLI itself, it is still sufficient, there are around 450 beds. This means that the current bed occupancy is around 20-25 percent", he said.

Therefore, Nalendra reminded the public to be more vigilant and prepare themselves for the worst conditions. Especially hospitals in handling COVID-19 patients.

"We must remain vigilant, continue to apply the 5M health protocols", said Nalendra.
