Over the past four weeks, it has set up more COVID-19 Treatment Facilities, made improvements in the Home Recovery Program, simplified its healthcare protocols to allow individuals with mild or no symptoms to self-isolate early and recover at home, and expanded coverage of Vaccination-Differentiated Safe Management Measures to settings frequently visited by COVID-19 positive cases.However, according to the ministry, Singapore currently has about 1,650 isolation beds and 200 ICU beds for COVID-19 patients in public hospitals, with 89 percent of the isolation beds being filled. The occupancy rate for ICU beds, which consist of existing COVID-19 cases requiring ICU care, COVID-19 patients admitted to ICU for monitoring, as well as non-COVID-19 patients, stands at about 67 percent.
