Doctors are urging people who feel sick to not assume it’s a cold or sinus infection and get tested.
“It is rampant right now,” says Dr. Weaver with AllSouth Urgent Care. “Today after the first six tests, I didn’t have any that were negative for covid.”
Weaver continues, “Fortunately, even though it’s very communicable, the symptoms don’t seem to be quite as bad this time.” “Of the 38 patients in the hospital that are covid positive, a majority of them are found to have covid coincidently and are actually admitted to the hospital for other reasons,” explains Dr. George Narby, Chief Medical Officer at Southeast Health. “However, over the last week, we have seen an up-tick in the number of people admitted to the hospital because of covid.
He continues, “As of today, over 71 people in Houston County have died from covid since the beginning of 2022, so this remains an impactful illness.”Weaver and Narby say many people are using at-home tests.
