COVID-19 Update, January 6, 2022

As the COVID public health emergency continues our communities are experiencing a fifth surge of COVID-19 with the Omicron variant. Infirmary Health remains committed to providing the highest level of care for all our patients and their families. Our emergency departments are open to anyone who is experiencing life-threatening emergencies but we are experiencing record numbers of patients presenting with COVID, which can cause significantly longer wait times for all patients, including those with emergency needs.

If you are experiencing non-life threatening COVID symptoms, including sore throat and stuffy nose, please try managing your symptoms at home or contacting your primary care doctor or an urgent care clinic if you need medical care.

We are all in this together.

Infirmary Health currently has 99 COVID inpatients in its hospitals; 57% of those patients are unvaccinated, and 43% are vaccinated.
