A resurgence of COVID-19 is impacting Grundy County, and the county’s only hospital says it has witnessed a 400% increase in coronavirus admissions since the beginning of the month.
Morris Hospital announced last week it was nearing capacity as COVID-19 hospitalizations were increasing. Mark Steadham, the hospital’s president and CEO, reported the facility had 80 inpatients as of Nov. 17 and half had COVID-19.
“The situation is very serious and well beyond anything we experienced last spring,” Steadham said in a Nov. 18 press release.
