Cheshire Medical Center issued the following announcement on March 17.
Dartmouth-Hitchcock Health has released a new COVID-19 update video with Michael S. Calderwood, MD, MPH, chief quality officer at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center. This video discusses the current state of COVID-19, updated masking recommendations and COVID-19 projections.
“We think we are going to reach a point where we continue with low level activity of this virus—what we describe as an endemic,” said Calderwood. “We expect COVID-19 to reach a period where it is always present, but we have ways of protecting ourselves. We have vaccines that are incredibly protective against hospitalization and severe illness, medications you can take by mouth and monoclonal antibodies that can be given intravenously or intramuscularly. We are in a much different state than we were a year ago.”
