The coronavirus pandemic status is no longer “critical” at Wichita’s two major hospitals as the number of COVID-19 patients has dropped to its lowest level in three months. The Sedgwick County Health Department on Monday changed its area hospital assessment status to “cautious.” It had previously been listed as “critical” since early November, when intensive care units became filled to capacity and hospitals were forced into contingency operations. County officials have not defined either “critical” or “cautious,” so it is unclear exactly what led the status to be upgraded.
