In terms of hospitalizations, there were 800 patients in intensive care units and 552 people came to emergency rooms with symptoms of Covid-19.

The report also indicates that hospitals have several people hospitalized with complications after having COVID-19 and they are no longer isolated and, therefore, are not reflected in these numbers.

“These numbers are again a grim reminder of the need to sacrifice all of ourselves and of the patriotism of all as we work so that the community and the country are strong before the arrival of the vaccine and that once administered the so-called“ immunity of herd, ”said County Judge Clay Jenkins.

“Consider the mask and your smart decisions to avoid crowds, and social gatherings as the vaccine that is available for now,” concluded Jenkins.
