Hundreds of employees at one hospital in California are in self-isolation following COVID-19 exposure, amid a nationwide surge of the omicron variant, health officials said Wednesday.
The hospitalization surge is also affecting patients as 280 of them tested positive for COVID-19, with about 71% of them unvaccinated, FOX 26 reported.
"We are being hit hard daily – from unprecedented staffing shortages to supply chain issues to the number of patients coming to our hospital," Utecht continued. "Our staff is dedicated to providing the best care possible to all our patients. We need your help now to slow the spread in our community so that they can be healthy enough to do the jobs that they love.
The state has confirmed 6,086,557 total COVID cases and has recorded 76,564 coronavirus-related deaths, despite a more than 80% vaccination rate for individuals 5 years and older, FOX 26 reported.
