Sharon Regional Medical Center in Sharon. TANNER MONDOK | Herald
SHARON â Compared to the initial round of lockdowns earlier this summer, the surge of COVID-19 patients didnât truly hit Sharon Regional Medical Center until the last three weeks.
The amount of care those patients need is also increasing, said Dr. David Shellenbarger, chief medical officer at Sharon Regional.
At the beginning of the pandemic, most patients were people coming in with mild symptoms or work-related concerns. With this latest surge, most patients are showing more moderate symptoms such as difficulty oxygenating or shortness of breath, Shellenbarger said.
âRight now weâre trying not to admit anyone who doesnât need oxygen, because if youâre just experiencing mild symptoms there are things you can do at home to remain healthy,â he said.
