Kuwait records lowest ICU occupancy since January

The number of COVID-19 patients undergoing treatment in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is the lowest recorded since January.

As of Saturday, there are 89 patients in the ICU, a 250 per cent decrease compared to a month ago. Last week, Dr. Abdullah Al Mutairi, a consultant at the ICU at the Jaber Al Ahmad hospital, said three COVID-19 ICU wards have closed as patient occupancy decreases.

Last Sunday, Kuwait recorded 167 COVID-19 cases, the lowest number of cases since April 28, 2020. The percentage of cases compared to the number of swabs conducted has dropped significantly to around 1.6 per cent, a huge decline compared to few months where the average percentage was around 13 and 14 per cent.

The number of COVID-19 deaths have also declined, with the Ministry of Health recording around two to three a day, as against double digits in June and July.

Health officials have said that the drop in cases, deaths and hospitalisations are a result of the increase in vaccinated individuals.
