Alaska reports nearly 5,500 new cases over 2 days as hospitals contend with stubborn staffing issues:
of COVID-19 over two days as part of a continuing coronavirus surge that so far has shown no signs of slowing in the state.
The latest case count included 5,386 cases among Alaska residents and 111 among nonresidents in the state.The recent spike in cases, driven by the highly transmissible omicron variant, has been marked by less severe disease in many cases, along with fewer hospitalizations and deaths. However, a combination of staff shortages and rising patient counts has again strained the state’s health care system.
Providence is currently averaging 80 staff members calling out each day due to the virus, Canfield said. “The high overall census, lack of many available ICU beds, and staffing challenges can potentially affect our ability to accept patient transfers from other facilities,” he said. At Alaska Native Medical Center, there were seven ICU beds available early Wednesday, said hospital spokeswoman Shirley Young. She said the facility continues to experience “substantial” staff shortages due to callouts related to illness or exposure.At-home COVID-19 tests that freeze in transit are likely still usable — just make sure they’re thawed outAlaska on Wednesday also reported nine more deaths from the virus.
