How many ICU beds open in Snohomish County? One.
EVERETT — With COVID hospitalizations still on the rise, only one ICU bed was unoccupied as of Tuesday morning in Snohomish County, local health officials reported.
Now coronavirus hospitalizations are about double what they were at the county’s previous peak, with 222 beds occupied by patients infected with the virus, according to the Snohomish Health District.
“So occupancy is virtually 100%,” Health Officer Dr. Chris Spitters said.
COVID-19 hospitalizations are taking up about 30% of available beds across the county. About 26 hospital beds outside of intensive care are still available.
