10:30 a.m. — A Springfield, Missouri hospital on Sunday announced it opened its sixth COVID-19 ward as the delta virus variant rages in the state’s southwest region.
That’s the most virus wards Mercy Hospital in Springfield has had. Chief Administrative Officer Erik Frederick tweeted that the hospital needed at most five COVID-19 wards last year.
The hospital was treating 133 virus patients as of Sunday.
“Many local rural communities don’t have high vaccination rates,” Frederick wrote. “They also don’t have a hospital. Get sick, come to Springfield. I think that’s getting left out of the narrative.”
9:15 a.m. — As coronavirus case numbers grow, the University of Kansas system is starting to fill up again.
Doctors and nurses are treating 39 patients for COVID-19, and 26 are considered active inpatients, with nine people in the ICU and 10 on ventilators.
Doctors say seven of the 39 patients are vaccinated, and two of them are in the ICU. Doctors say they’re working to get more information on their health histories and backgrounds.
“Remember, out of 39 people, 32 have not been vaccinated,” Dr. Steve Stites said. “But we just want to make sure that we’ve got all the right advice that we can for folks who are being vaccinated and especially if you have other illnesses that accompany that “
Doctors recommend people with underlying health conditions should keep taking safety precautions, even if they’ve been vaccinated.
