The intensive care units of Saskatoon hospitals are so full that officials have stopped accepting most out-of-town patients. Saskatoon's 23 ICU beds are now mostly reserved for Saskatoon patients only. So far, four patients have been sent from Saskatoon to available ICU beds in other cities. Prince Albert, North Battleford, Lloydminster, Swift Current, Moose Jaw, Yorkton and Regina have a combined total of 67 ICU beds. An official said more ICU beds, ventilators and staff can be added if there are no other options.
