FLORIDA (REUTERS) - Covid-19 hospitalizations in Louisiana and Florida have surged to their highest points of the pandemic, leading overwhelmed doctors on Monday (Aug 2) to plead with the unvaccinated to get inoculated against the Delta variant.
More than 10,000 patients were hospitalized in Florida on Sunday, surpassing that state s record. The surging Delta variant led Louisiana s governor to reinstate a statewide indoor mask mandate, with that state expected to break its record on Covid-19 hospitalizations within 24 hours. Hospitalizations in Arkansas are also soaring and could eventually break records.
Doctors in Louisiana who spoke during a Monday press conference with Governor John Bel Edwards pleaded with citizens to get vaccinated, warning that hospitals were overwhelmed and their ability to treat any patient was hamstrung.
Murphy said his team is still finalizing the plan’s details, and his staff did not respond to a question about whether the new policy will require the governor to sign an executive order or take some other formal action. The administration which last week urged all residents, regardless of vaccination status, to mask up in certain indoor situations also seemed unsure exactly how many workers this new vaccination policy would involve.
Expanding policy to transportation, other workers?
But Murphy stressed that the policy may also be expanded to cover more sectors where the work puts employees, or the public, at particular risk for viral spread. “To be clear this standard is the absolute floor,” he said, noting that hospitals and other private-sector facilities included in the initial policy can opt for a “more ambitious timeline” or a stricter immunization mandate without a testing option.
