Article Synopsis
- Switzerland has seen a decrease in COVID-19 cases due to social distancing measures implemented on March 16, 2020, but easing restrictions risks a potential second wave of infections.
- Hospitals need to prepare for a possible surge in ICU admissions from respiratory issues related to the virus.
- The icumonitoring.ch platform provides detailed hospital-level projections for ICU usage by analyzing data on beds, ventilators, and COVID-19 case forecasts, and updates every few days to assist decision makers.
