ICU beds in short supply across Florida as state struggles with coronavirus spike

Less than a quarter of hospital beds for intensive care patients are now available in Florida as the state grapples with a spike in coronavirus cases, data out of Tallahassee revealed on Thursday.

There were 1,371 adult ICU spots available out of 6,057 statewide, which is about 22.6 percent, the Agency for Health Care Administration showed in an update posted at 1:46 p.m. ET.

That troublingly low figure includes data from Broward County, Florida's second largest, which had just 20.9 percent of ICU beds ready at that time.

Hillsborough County, the state's fourth most populous county, had only 20.2 percent available.
