RRH COVID-19 Numbers Update & Response (12.8.20)
- Category: News, Coronavirus/COVID-19
- Posted On:
*** Due to the current local surge, we will be once again posting numbers daily, Mon-Fri both here on Facebook and on our dedicated Covid-19 site page at RRH.ORG/COVID19. ***
In response to subsequent questions regarding RRH ICU census, RRH President/CEO Jim Suver has commented:
“During the winter season ICU’s historically become full with patients suffering from respiratory problems and the flu. Unfortunately the present covid surge adds additional patients to the ICU census, as was feared and communicated to the public months ago. Hospitals – as in the past – have had to maximize resources during periods of high demand and this present covid surge will be managed. What the hospitals need is for our residents to continue to adhere to the recommended precautions against covid. RRH has additional ICU beds available if needed at this time and ICU census is constantly fluctuating as patients get well."
We are adding additional information to this numbers update for reference, regarding county ICU levels, as reported by the state.
