There are only 368 ICU beds currently available in Texas and 10,463 lab-confirmed Covid-19 patients in hospitals across the state, according to state health data Wednesday. Finding health care workers to administer these beds is becoming more difficult.
With the spread of the more transmissible Delta variant and lagging vaccination rates, states such as Texas are seeing a surge in Covid-19 cases that quickly halted a summer of reopenings.
And as Texas faces another rise in hospitalizations approaching a peak witnessed during the 2020 holiday season, officials are concerned over health care worker shortages. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott announced that more than 2,500 medical personnel will be deployed to hospitals around the state to care for an increasing number of Covid-19 patients.
