Cheshire Medical Center issued the following announcement on March 1.
Daily COVID-19 case numbers and hospitalizations for New Hampshire continued their rapid decline last week and have now fallen far below the peak of the first wave in December 2020. The rapid drop in cases and hospitalizations has brought some relief to hospitals, but the built-up strain on the system will dissipate more slowly.
"We continue to see very sick patients in the hospital, some with an incidental finding of COVID-19," Jose Mercado, MD, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Health COVID-19 Response Leader, told the Granite State News Collaborative. "This leads to higher than normal volume of patients in the hospital who require more resources for their care."
