Google Translate:

"«We have very few free places in intensive care, now we are in the order of 15 or 20 available. Every day we get someone new, tomorrow 3 more arrive and San Raffaele is creating an area with 14 seats which will be ready, however, in a week. Today we recover them by closing the operating rooms, where there are respirators that can also be used to support the breath »."

Sure if you look at "designed" capacity. I was looking at "current" capacity, which is all what matters in this situation.
