On this day, the IMSS had reported, without making it clear, that there were only two beds available for general care.
However, through a statement, the medical unit detailed tonight that the numerical separation of the beds refers to an administrative procedure to know how many ventilators there are, so it assured that these beds can be used for general hospitalization of patients with this disease.
