Coronavirus Update and Health System Preparations - 4/28

Testing and Confirmed Cases
To protect patient privacy, DCH has established a minimum threshold of five for reporting numbers of inpatients with laboratory-confirmed cases of COVID-19.

DCH internal counts as of 12:20 p.m. on 4/28/20:

• 32 inpatients are being treated for COVID-19.

• 12 inpatients who are positive for COVID-19 are being treated in the ICU.

• Seven inpatients who are positive for COVID-19 are on ventilators.

• 228 (cumulative) have tested positive for COVID-19 including individuals from the ED, triage tent and inpatient. These individuals are not necessarily in the hospital.

• 3,592 (cumulative) have tested negative at DCH sites.

• Eight inpatients (cumulative) who were positive for COVID-19 have died at DCH.

As a reminder, in the dashboard a PUI is a “person under investigation” which means the individual has COVID-19 symptoms but a test result has not yet come back.

Also included is a chart showing the percent positive among those tested both in the state and at DCH locations. This chart reflects totals by the end of each day (except today).
