I would like to find out if any private hospitals accepting COVID cases, and if not, why?

My wife works in a private hospital, her hospital accepts patients with covid. But the problem is the number of places available because they have to be in negative pressure rooms. The government gives an allowance for each covid patient accepted.

In some hospitals staff has been contaminated, and kindergartens and schools have instructed staff not to bring their children to school, resulting in difficult situations. In addition, if staff are contaminated or other "normal" patients are contaminated, the decontamination process will take 2 weeks. During these 2 weeks the hospital cannot perform operations, which results in a financial loss that is significant.

Private hospitals affected by the covid have already announced to the staff that this year there will be no bonuses (these bonuses can represent 25% of the total salary). As a result, the staff understands that in case of covid they will not be supported by the population (e.g. kindergartens) and that in addition they will be paid less. All this plays on the decision of the directors of private hospitals to accept or not to accept patients with Covid.
