The number of COVID-19 patients being treated at the University of Virginia Medical Center is increasing as more area residents catch the virus, but hospital officials say they are not being overwhelmed.
Officials on Wednesday said that they have a lot of flexibility remaining at the hospital in terms of bed space and can move staff around as needed to treat those who contract the disease. The hospital is currently treating regular medical and emergency patients as well as those who have COVID, although the latter are isolated.
The number of people reported as hospitalized at UVa for COVID increased from about 40 last week to nearly 60 this week. The number of patients varies from day-to-day depending on how many are admitted or discharged.
