McLaren Macomb says hospital pressure starting to ease as case rates decrease
While Michigan's COVID-19 cases have started to decline, one of southeast Michigan's biggest hospitals says they're starting to see some of the pressure on the hospital system ease.
MACOMB, Mich. (FOX 2) - Over the past week, Michigan has seen its highest-in-the-nation COVID-19 case rate slowly start to decrease. While doctors are optimistic we're rounding the curve, hospitalizations are still high.
Doctors at McLaren Macomb say the ICU is at capacity with COVID patients - which is true for the rest of its 12 hospitals across the state. However, the ICU Director of McLaren Macomb, Dr. Shelly Schendel, said in the last few days, they've seen a plateau.
