Beaumont Hospital, Grosse Pointe dealing with recent surge in COVID-19 cases
GROSSE POINTE CITY The recent surge in COVID-19 cases is straining the capacity of Beaumont Hospital, Grosse Pointe, as well as the other hospitals in the Beaumont Health system.
As of April 15, Beaumont officials said the number of COVID-19 patients they were caring for had skyrocketed from 128 on Feb. 28 to more than 800. That number has risen by about 300 in the last two weeks alone.
Local officials are among those calling on residents to protect themselves and those around them from COVID-19. During an April 19 Grosse Pointe City Council meeting by Zoom, City Councilman Terence A. Thomas asked everyone to “mask up … so that we can get rid of the masks a lot sooner rather than a lot later.”
The city completed the flushing of the system, and main work is expected to start back up again next week, according to Goulette.
The Council also heard a proposal for street and sewer improvements near Quality Pork International at the meeting. Goulette tells KTIC News what’s going on with that.
The estimated project cost is $160,000.
Also at Tuesday night’s meeting, the Council heard proposed changes to Article V of the Municipal Code as it relates to ATV’s and UTV’s. Goulette says this impacts where people can drive these vehicles.
