ALPENA — MidMichigan Medical Center-Alpena officials are seeing a “significant increase” in the number of patients being admitted for COVID-19. Hospital President Chuck Sherwin said on Monday of the 70 patients admitted in the hospital, 26 were admitted because of COVID-19. Sherwin said the hospital at the beginning of December saw more patients admitted because of COVID-19. However, he said the current influx of patients comes close to that time. “If the numbers continue to go up the way that they have over the last two weeks, we’ll probably exceed that level because I think we were at a high of 28 before,” Sherwin said.
