With amplified anxieties and health-care needs surrounding the resurgence of COVID-19, local UPMC and Geisinger professionals are closely monitoring supplies, beds, staff members and the community as they battle challenges that come with hitting patient capacity.
“All of the hospitals are at or near capacity and have been for the last few weeks,” Dr. David Lopatofsky, CMO of UPMC in the Susquehanna Region, said.
“We would continue to emphasize that COVID is very real and it is very dangerous … it is more important than ever to practice health measures, masking, staying home when you’re feeling sick and avoiding gatherings,” he emphasized.
