“While hospitalizations caused by COVID-19 are still happening and new variants continue to evolve, in many instances, patients aren’t getting as sick as they were in the early days of the pandemic,” Hornick said.Cuyahoga County is not experiencing outbreak conditions, according to a spokesperson for the county health department.
“The great thing about where we are is that we have tools that work: masks, vaccines and treatment medications for those infected and at high risk for severe outcome,” said Neighborhood Family Practice chief medical officer Dr. Melanie Golembiewski. Despite these reassurances, it’s a good idea for those at high risk for severe illness to dig out their masks and start wearing them again, Golembiewski advises.“I have been advising people to break out those masks again heading into the respiratory season and certainly as COVID-19 cases trend upward,” Golembiewski said.
The Cleveland Clinic, MetroHealth System and University Hospitals have not changed their mask policies for visitors.
