(Bloomberg) -- Miami-Dade County reported 994 patients with Covid-19 admitted to hospitals as of Friday, an increase of 109 from a day earlier and the biggest-one day jump in at least four weeks.
But the county said Larkin Hospitals just began reporting, increasing both the number of beds and the number of Covid-19 patients.
The number of Covid-19 patients in intensive-care unit beds rose to 195 from 180, according to a report from the county, which is Florida’s most populous. The number of Covid-19 patients on ventilators reached 85, up from 84 a day earlier.
The county has 2,911 acute-care beds and 451 ICU beds available.
