The Intensive Care Unit at Homestead Hospital is at capacity with mostly patients who has tested positive for COVID-19, a spokeswoman for Baptist Health South Florida confirmed to ABC News reporter Victor Oquendo.

The spokeswoman, Georgi Pipkin, said the hospital does have surge plans in place to covert 150 beds to handle the overflow, however hospital officials have chosen to transfer patients to other hospitals within the Baptist Health System.

Pipkin confirmed that the hospital is seeing much younger COVID-19 patients than earlier in the pandemic.

She said the patients typically recover at a quicker pace, but their conditions are still serious enough for them to be hospitalized.
