Clark County’s health commissioner is urging the public to be careful after a spike in cases and hospitalizations caused Springfield Regional Medical Center to reopen its COVID-19 unit.
This week, on Wednesday, 29 were hospitalized with the virus. A week ago, on March 17, nine people were hospitalized for COVID-19 at Springfield Regional Medical Center, according to the Clark County Combined Health District.
“They had to reopen an entire COVID floor,” Clark County Combined Health District Commissioner Charles Patterson said. “They’ve opened another half a unit up and the hospital has now had to ramp up their response again because of the number of COVID patients they are seeing.”
