Coronavirus Update and Health System Preparations - 6/12

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 2:20 p.m. on 6/12/20:

• 66 inpatients are being treated for COVID-19.

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

• 11 who are positive for COVID-19 are on ventilators.

• 1,045 (cumulative) have tested positive for COVID-19 including individuals from the ED, triage tent and inpatient. These individuals are not necessarily in the hospital.

• 9,100 (cumulative) have tested negative at DCH sites.

• 192 inpatients (cumulative) who were positive for COVID-19 have been discharged.

• 50 inpatients (cumulative) who were positive for COVID-19 have died at DCH. This is not an indication of the cause of death, only that the individuals were positive for COVID-19 at the time of death.

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

Inpatient Positives
Currently the total COVID-19 positive rate at all DCH testing sites (outpatient and inpatient) is 10.3 percent. As you might expect, the rate is higher among individuals who have been sick enough to need inpatient or emergency department care. Included today is a graph showing the combined inpatient and emergency department trend. Today we are at 15.1 percent.
