Testing and Confirmed Cases
To protect patient privacy, we have established a minimum threshold of five for reporting numbers of inpatients with laboratory-confirmed cases of COVID-19.

ÐÂÔÂÖ±²¥ internal counts as of 12:20 p.m. on 4/20/20:

• 22 inpatients are being treated for COVID-19.
• Nine inpatients who are positive for COVID-19 are being treated in the ICU.
• Seven inpatients who are positive for COVID-19 are on ventilators.
• 168 (cumulative) have tested positive for COVID-19 including individuals from the ED, triage tent and inpatient. These individuals are not necessarily in the hospital.
• 3,118 (cumulative) have tested negative at ÐÂÔÂÖ±²¥ sites.

This represents the first time we have had more than five inpatients in the ICU and on ventilators who were positive for COVID-19. As you can see in the chart, the severity of the cases and numbers of those with COVID-19 who need hospital care slowly started to increase over the weekend.

The current totals continue to be well within ÐÂÔÂÖ±²¥’s total capacity to manage. However, the overall upward trend should be a good indicator to everyone that now is not the time to slacken efforts at social distancing, hand washing and sanitizing.

Screening Hours
The volume at ÐÂÔÂÖ±²¥’s remote screening tent has continued to lessen. Because of this, the site will now only be open Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 8 a.m. – 2 p.m. and Saturdays from 8:30 a.m. – noon. Based on the community need future adjustments to the schedule may be made.
