GOSHEN – Goshen Health listed its updated numbers on COVID-19 activity from March 11 through Monday.
As of Monday, Goshen Health has completed 10,164 tests; had 1,286 positive test results for an overall positivity rate of 13.7%; had 8,093 negative test results; and 742 outstanding test results. The hospital has also had 176 COVID-related admissions; 172 discharges; and 17 confirmed COVID-19 positive-related mortalities.
“We are not just concerned with deaths from COVID-19. We’re concerned about every positive COVID-19 patient. Even though many people are recovering, we don’t know yet what the long-term consequences of the virus are,” said Dr. Dan Nafziger, Goshen Hospital chief medical officer and infectious disease specialist. “Some patients are developing strokes, blood clots and chronic fatigue. I know of people younger and healthier than I am who are now spending months recovering from this virus. We don’t know whether their lungs will ever go back to normal. This is why we take this virus so seriously – and urge everyone in the community to as well.”
