‘We don’t know where the peak is’: ERs fill with patients as COVID cases surge in Jacksonville
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – No end in sight: That’s what doctors and health officials say about the latest surge in COVID-19 cases in Jacksonville.
UF Health Jacksonville has opened another area for COVID-19 patients as more and more people head to the hospital for treatment.
“It is getting tight. Every day, we’re opening up a new unit,” said Chad Neilsen, UF Health Jacksonville director of accreditation and infection prevention. “We’ve maxed out our latest unit, so we’re making preparations to open a new unit.”

The United States is experiencing a limited outbreak of the monkeypox virus.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently confirmed that in mid-July, a Texas man who had traveled from Lagos, Nigeria, to Atlanta, Georgia, had contracted the disease. The CDC is monitoring over 200 people the man had contact with and asking them to quarantine for about three weeks.
Monkeypox is typically found in the tropical forests of Central and West Africa and is carried by animals, including primates. The illness usually begins with a fever, muscle aches, chills, and swollen lymph nodes and then grows into a full-blown rash of pox-like blisters.
