We are experiencing a significant increase in COVID-related hospitalizations at SOMC.
Three months ago, we averaged six COVID-related inpatients -- last week, we averaged 33. We are rapidly moving in the wrong direction, and if this trend continues it could impact our ability to provide care to our community.
That is why we are urging you to wear masks, practice social distancing and avoid gatherings whenever possible. These measures are proven to reduce the spread of this virus, and they are the best way to look after those you care about.
Not only could they save you and your loved ones from COVID-19, they help us continue providing healthcare to our entire region.
