The city and county showed 177 more cases of the new coronavirus, and also confirmed a new death from the virus in its update on Friday.
Aggregate instances raise the total number of instances identified in the city to 9,303. Of these, 3,333 cases are active infections.
A man in his 50s died of coronavirus on Thursday, August 13. With this new death, another 185 people have died as a result of the virus since its appearance at the entrance of the city.
Another 170 people are being treated lately in laredo hospitals, adding another 64 people stayed lately in extensive care units.
According to Dr. Víctor Treviño of the Laredo Health Authority, hospitals continue to struggle with their ability to treat COVID patients.
Treviño said the number of hospitalized patients has recently been slightly reduced, which has not been significant enough to fully meet the challenge of overcrowded hospitals.
According to Deputy Fire Chief Guillermo Heard, negotiations are still underway with state officials to strengthen the UCI’s capacity in Laredo.
Heard said an additional care site housed at Laredo Specialty Hospital, which depends on the wishes of the community, is being discussed.
As the flu season approaches, local fitness officials should also fight influenza and COVID-19 at the same time.
If flu patients were hospitalized, more patients may simply fill in laredo hospital beds at a time when needs are higher.
The Department of Health’s acting director, Richard Chamberlain, said there will soon be cell flu vaccination clinics in the city; the full main points have not yet been defined.
Clinics are also designed to prevent COVID-19 and flu co-infections, which can cause more headaches with the virus remedy.
At noon on Friday, 24,761 more people were screened for COVID-19 in Laredo. Another 14,388 people came back negative, with 1,070 tests still awaiting results.
City and county officials said lately no driving tests are being discussed until at least September. However, testing continues at local clinics and at the Laredo fitness branch.
An estimated 5,785 other people have recovered from past coronavirus infections and have been allowed through city officials to return to the public.
