COURT HOUSE – As of Dec. 1, Cape Regional Medical Center (CRMC) had 16 COVID-19 patients, with nine requiring intensive care and two on ventilators.
The total number of patients is fewer than it was one week ago; however, the number receiving intensive care doubled. CRMC Nov. 24 had 21 COVID-19 patients, with four in the intensive care unit (ICU) and two on ventilators.
The burden on CRMC grew since the end of October, when it reported three COVID-19 patients, one of whom was in the ICU.
The growth of community spread of the virus in the county led CRMC to institute a no-visitor policy to protect patients and staff. There are some exceptions to the policy. Interested individuals should check the CRMC website for the latest visitor rules (caperegional.com/for-visitors).
CRMC remains open for a full range of health care, with protocols in place for safety.
Cape May – Governor Murphy says he doesn't know anything about the drones and doesn't know what they are doing but he does know that they are not dangerous. Does anyone feel better now?
