220 COVID-19 cases per day are seen in Erie County, increasing hospitalizations
Erie County is on the verge of a second COVID-19 surge, with an average of 220 new cases a day starting Friday.
The county’s COVID-19 hospitalizations have also increased recently, but not at the same rate as new cases.
According to the Pennsylvania Department of Health, residents of 90 counties of COVID-19 were hospitalized on Monday night, 50 of whom needed an intensive care unit and 13 of whom needed a ventilator. The 14-day moving average of the county’s daily hospitalization rose to 73.5 on Monday, increasing for the fifth straight day.
Christopher Clark DO, President of St. Vincent Hospital, said: “Since October, we have had a lot of steadily admission.”
Melissa Lyon, director of health at Erie County, said the county’s recent surge in new cases included people of all ages.

Several county schools and an entire school district, the Wattsburg Regional School District, have switched from face-to-face learning to distance learning through Thanksgiving due to an increase in cases of COVID-19 among students and staff.
“It was only a matter of time after we saw the number of cases start to increase,” Lyon said. “Fortunately, now that children over the age of 5 have access to the vaccine, there is a way out.”
COVID-19 Vaccination Schedule Method
Vaccine clinics are open to people of all ages, including children. Here’s how people schedule vaccinations:
About 52.2% of all residents of the county are fully vaccinated and 58.5% are vaccinated at least once. According to the Pennsylvania Department of Health, county residents have received a total of 32,980 boosters or a third dose.
St. Vincent has seen the differences that the COVID-19 vaccine can make between patients, even if they need to be hospitalized for the virus.
From July 1st to November 12th, only 44 of the 321 COVID-19 patients at Erie Hospital under the age of 70 were fully vaccinated. Of that age group, 27 COVID-19s died in hospitals only in all vaccinated people.

Patients aged 70 years and older had more similar hospitalizations for COVID-19 (88 vaccinated, 99 unvaccinated), but 8 vaccinated compared to 27 unvaccinated patients. Only the patient died.
Howard Nadwarney, MD, an expert on St. Vincent’s infectious diseases and an adviser to the County Health Department, said:
Reinfection added to the number of COVID-19 cases on Saturday
The County Health Department sent a news release on Monday, reporting 521 new COVID-19 cases on Saturday.
The total was a much higher number of cases per day since the pandemic began. However, the actual number of new cases was 250, and the other 271 cases were cases of COVID-19 reinfection that occurred after March 2020.
“Usually, cases of reinfection were added to the original cases and were not counted on their own,” Lyon said. “The state wanted to get a reinfection rate, so they all appeared in Saturday’s count.”
