The state’s hospitals had another intense week saving lives from the pandemic, with Eastern Maine Medical Center in Bangor seeing a sharp resurgence of COVID-19 inpatients, joining Augusta’s MaineGeneral, Mid Coast in Brunswick and much smaller York Hospital in setting new pandemic peaks.
EMMC, the largest hospital in the eastern half of the state, saw an average of 26.6 confirmed COVID-19 patients per day in the week ending Thursday, up from 18.3 the week before and surpassing the previous record weekly average of 24.3 set the week before that. Despite the unprecedented burden, the hospital’s senior clinician said it is still able to handle the burden without canceling scheduled surgeries and other medical care.
