Tomorrow will mark one month since the Belgrade Arena 
<https://www.telegraf.rs/teme/belgrade-arena>  became a Covid hospital once 
again.

Medical coordinator of the temporary hospital in the Belgrade Arena Predrag 
Bogdanovic told RTS 
<https://www.rts.rs/page/stories/sr/%D0%9A%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%BD%D0%B0%D0%B2%D0%B8%D1%80%D1%83%D1%81/story/3134/koronavirus-u-srbiji/4160245/arena-pacijenti-koronavirus-bolnica-epidemija.html>
  that a total of 1,023 patients had passed through there in the last 29 days, 
and that no one expected such a situation.

Bogdanovic said that last night was sleepless because there were 80 admissions 
to the hospital. There are currently 485 patients in the Arena. He says that 
whole families with bilateral pneumonia are treated in it, and that the 
epidemiological situation is very serious.

In these nearly a month, a total of 540 patients have been discharged, 438 for 
further home treatment, while 102 patients were transferred to higher-ranking 
hospitals.

Most patients receive oxygen therapy, and there are only about 20 empty beds 
left. Bogdanovic points out that 30 to 50 discharges happen each day, and that 
they are trying to send every patient home once they stabilize, because there 
is a lot of pressure on hospitals.

There are 280 oxygen places in the Arena and they are all filled. Bogdanovic 
points out that there are entire families in the Arena who suffer from 
bilateral pneumonia.
