Costa Rica surpasses 1,000 hospitalized with Covid-19

Of those, 403 are in an ICU bed, nearly saturating Costa Rica’s national capacity in its public-health system.

Twenty-four people died on Monday related to Covid-19. Costa Rica has already recorded 59 such deaths in the first three days of May.
