CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. (KFVS) - Many hospitals in the Heartland are hopeful, in terms of the future, when it comes to COVID-19 infections.
At SoutheastHEALTH, cases spiked in fall 2020 with an average of about 50 patients a day.
Now, they are seeing one to two patients a day.
The hospital closed the COVID-19 unit several months ago. If a patient comes in now, they can put them in an isolation room and treat them there.
