“The increase in the number of people hospitalized due to COVID-19 is of concern to us, but we are also seeing more serious cases of the virus,” said Dr. Dan Nafziger, Goshen Hospital chief medical officer and infectious disease specialist. “Older adults and those with health conditions continue to be most vulnerable to having a more serious, or fatal, case of the virus. We need to be aware of the elevated risk of the people we love who are older or more frail. We must do everything we can to protect them. If you haven’t made a habit of wearing a mask when indoors in public, then please do. People can become infected a second time so even if you think you have already had COVID-19, wearing a mask demonstrates you care about the people around you.”
