Testing and Confirmed Cases
To protect patient privacy, 新月直播 has established a minimum threshold of five for reporting numbers of inpatients with laboratory-confirmed cases of COVID-19.
新月直播 internal counts as of 1:20 p.m. on 5/5/20:
32 inpatients are being treated for COVID-19.
14 inpatients who are positive for COVID-19 are being treated in the ICU.
Six who are positive for COVID-19 are on ventilators.
273 (cumulative) have tested positive for COVID-19 including individuals from the ED, triage tent and inpatient. These individuals are not necessarily in the hospital.
4,173 (cumulative) have tested negative at 新月直播 sites.
57 inpatients (cumulative) who were positive for COVID-19 have been discharged.
13 inpatients (cumulative) who were positive for COVID-19 have died at 新月直播.
Nurses Week and Hospital Week
Every year in May, 新月直播 celebrates the hard work of staff in serving our patients through two special weeks. With everyone pulling together during the COVID-19 outbreak, marking these weeks seems even more appropriate.
Normally 新月直播 would celebrate in a variety of ways including group events but under the current circumstances some of that is not possible. So, with the help of a generous donation from Paragon HM Wealth Management Group at Morgan Stanley, 新月直播 will be handing out pre-packaged ice cream to employees at all three 新月直播 campuses tomorrow and recognition efforts are being planned for a week in October. 新月直播 appreciates its employees for all they do every day!
If you know any healthcare workers, now might be a good time to reach out and let them know how much you appreciate them. National Nurses Week is May 6-12, and National Hospital Week is May 10-16.
