San Antonio hospitals coping with latest surge of COVID-19 cases
SAN ANTONIO – As hospitalization numbers continued to shoot up Thursday, driven by unvaccinated residents, hospitals in the San Antonio area are feeling the squeeze.
As of Thursday, there were 695 COVID-positive patients in San Antonio-area hospitals, which is nearly five times as many as the average hospitalization rate at the beginning of July.
“If those kind of rates continue, in a couple of weeks we’ll be in a difficult position, and within a month we could surpass our high of 1,520 that we had back in January. And that will be - it will be a crunch,” Baptist Health System CEO Matthew Stone told KSAT.

COLUMBUS (WCMH) – Ohioans had mixed reactions to the Ohio Department of Health’s recommendations Monday that masks be worn in classrooms at the start of the school year.
Some residents were hoping ODH would have done a little more, while others weren’t sure if some of it was necessary.
Lauren Davis isn’t so sure what the start of school will bring for her son Jet.
“I’m really conflicted because, obviously, people, if they aren’t made to do it, aren’t going to do it,” she said.
ODH and the state’s top doctor issued the recommendations – not mandates – Monday, with the school year starting next month.
