KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. —Sky Lakes Medical Center says its has gone up in capacity Wednesday, despite having fewer COVID-19 patients.
The hospital says this is because of, “complexities of medical center resources.”
We asked a hospital spokesperson to explain what that meant. He said that could mean not having enough staff, or resources available.
“Covid patients still represent more than a third of our total overall patients, and so even though the focus is on the number of Covid patients and how that could be prevented, we still take care of a whole lot of other people,” said Sky Lakes spokesperson, Tom Hottman.
As of Wednesday morning, 22 people are in the hospital with COVID-19, 18 of those Covid patients are unvaccinated.
There are 4 patients in the ICU.
