“Over the last three days, we have admitted 12 COVID-19 patients in Albany. That is our lowest 3-day total in nearly two months and an indication we may have passed the peak of our winter surge. We hope that will be the last major surge of this pandemic, though experts are concerned new, more contagious variants of the virus could increase the infection rate significantly in the spring,” said Scott Steiner, Phoebe Putney Health System President and CEO. “The virus continues to take a heart-wrenching toll on our communities. Thirty-eight COVID-19 patients in our health system lost their lives in January, making it the third deadliest month of the pandemic behind only the early days of our COVID-19 fight last March and April. We must continue to take the virus seriously. The end of the pandemic may be in sight, but only if we take the proper steps to protect ourselves and those around us,” Steiner added.
