Columbus Regional Hospital saw an increase in patients hospitalized with COVID-19 this past week, including reaching a peak of 12 on Thursday, as state health officials continue to report record numbers of new coronavirus cases in Indiana.
On Friday morning, there were 10 patients hospitalized with COVID-19 at CRH and an additional three patients hospitalized with symptoms consistent with COVID-19, but still awaiting test results, the hospital said. Last Friday, there were two patients hospitalized with the virus.
Two of the 10 patients hospitalized today are in critical condition, hospital officials said. The other eight are listed in stable condition or stable-critical condition, officials said.
