As RSV cases surge across Arizona, nearly all pediatric hospital beds are full. Local day cares weigh in on how they keep kids safe.
"The best part is playing with the kids," Alanna McDonald, the day care's director, said."We get to meet new kids and families.""Cleaning and sanitizing has always been a part of the process because even before covid we were getting the flu and things like that," she said.
"One of the ways we can help with this is by having the parent contact your primary care provider before heading to the hospital," he said."We will fit kids in that need to be scene and stretch our capacity." "It's really the younger infants, especially those younger than six months that tend to have more difficulty," he said."So really sometimes it's just about supportive care like making sure they are hydrated and making sure they aren't having breathing issues."
