O’FALLON, Mo. (AP) — Hospital beds across Missouri are nearly four-fifths full, and capacity is even more limited in intensive care units as the coronavirus pandemic continues its autumn surge.

The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services on Monday cited 2,805 hospitalizations statewide — double the number from a month ago.

COVID+ census held at 100 @MercySGF. 27 in ICU, 19 on vent. Both single day highs. Aurora/Cassville census at 12. High for both hospitals. Placing patients on our 5th COVID unit and prepping #6. We want to be ready. If there are large gatherings Thursday we may need the rooms.

The state’s COVID-19 dashboard notes that just 21% of capacity remains at hospitals, and ICU capacity is down to 17%.

Bed capacity is at 13% in northwest Missouri, 17% in the St. Louis region and 19% in Kansas City.

ICU capacity is at 13% in the southwestern part of the state and in St. Louis.
