Both Reno County and Hutchinson Regional Medical Center are experiencing their highest levels of COVID-19 infection since the pandemic arrived in the county in March, health officials reported on Tuesday. The hospital had 13 patients confirmed with the Sars-CoV-2 virus admitted to ICU or the hospital’s COVID ward, including two people who are on ventilators, reported hospital vice president Chuck Welch. “We’ve had spikes in the past,” Welch said. “We’ve talked about the nature of the different courses of how different people are affected and how infections fluctuate quickly. From Tuesday to Tuesday, we can go from 10 to two. But as of the report today, this is the most in-house patients we’ve had.”
