While hospitals across the country struggle to meet the needs brought by a surge in COVID-19 cases, those serving southern Delaware report that hospitalizations have plateaued in recent weeks.
âAt Beebe, we have not seen a sudden surge in hospitalizationsâ said David Tam, president and CEO of Beebe Healthcare, based in Lewes.
âWhile the number is constantly changing, we did see a slow increase from zero inpatients and patients under investigation in early September to about 20 in early November,â Tam said in reference to COVID-19 patients being treated at the 210-bed Lewes facility.
âAfter remaining in that range for a few weeks, it has increased again and plateaued,â Tam said. Â The Margaret H. Rollins Lewes Campus continues to maintain capacity for both COVID-19 and other patients that need our care,â he said.
