JACKSON, Tenn. There’s some good news from West Tennessee Healthcare on the fight against COVID-19, but there is also a big warning sign.
Amy Garner with West Tennessee Healthcare says officials are preparing for what might be a post-holiday surge in COVID-19 cases.
“I’m worried, since we do have new cases going up since Christmas and New Years, so those could turn into hospitalizations over the next couple of weeks,” Garner said.
Thursday, the Jackson-Madison County Regional Health Department recorded 141 new cases. That’s a spike from the last six days, when no more than 100 new cases were reported in a single day.
