COVID: Jacksonville doctors, health specialists urge masks in schools

As the 2021-22 school year quickly approaches, community members in Jacksonville are pleading with Duval Schools to put a mask mandate in place to protect students against COVID-19.  Now, as Duval County deals with a new surge of COVID-19 cases and high hospitalization rates, health experts are joining the conversation.  On Monday evening, a group of several local doctors and health specialists gathered on Zoom for a public webinar encouraging masking up in schools.  The school board and superintendent are in a very difficult situation and perhaps an untenable situation,  Dr. Jeff Goldhagen a pediatric doctor and health professor, said.  But there’s a right thing to do. Our other elected officials need to take that stand.

Linda R. Edwards will serve as dean of the UF College of Medicine-Jacksonville for a one-year term, and the university will launch a national search to replace Dr. Leon L.

Edwards is the first woman to head UF College Medicine-Jacksonville since the college expanded into Northeast Florida in 1985. Edwards has been at UF Health Jacksonville since 1981.

As COVID-19 cases continue to rise, leaders encourage masks and vaccines

About 95 of the hospital system s patients are in intensive care. Three of those are children at Baptist s Wolfson Children s Hospital. UF Health Jacksonville reported 218 COVID-19 patients at its two local campuses, including 56 in intensive care, up from a total of 203 patients and 50 in intensive care on Friday morning, said spokesman Dan Leveton. Florida s Agency for Health Care Administration, or AHCA, previously provided daily updates on COVID-19 admissions at statewide hospitals. However, those updates ceased, along with many other statistics from the Florida Department of Health, after June 3. Baptist Health and UF Health Jacksonville are voluntarily releasing the numbers daily, but other local hospitals  including Ascension St. Vincent s, Mayo Clinic, Memorial Hospital Jacksonville and Orange Park Medical Center  are not.
