Area hospitals not full, but fear another surge Plus, Tri-County Health extends Adams County curfew mandate BY LIAM ADAMS LADAMS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Hospitals in the wider Adams County region are running out of space, with officials expecting a post-Thanksgiving surge. About 80 percent of the county’s ICU capacity is full, according to most recent Tri-County Health Department data. The increased concerns about hospitalizations led Tri-County Health to extend Adams County’s curfew mandate until Jan. 7. The mandate prohibits county residents from being in public spaces between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. “With what are still the highest case rates in the Metro area, the threat of further hospitalizations and deaths is very real in Adams County,” said Dr. John Douglas, Tri-County’s executive director, in a press release. Gov. Jared Polis said at a city of Westminster town hall Dec. 3 that one in 39 Adams County residents have COVID-19, a higher rate than when Tri-County first issued the curfew. Westminster and Thornton city officials painted a discouraging picture of hospitalizations in the area at recent city council study sessions. At a Dec. 7 study session, Westminster Mayor Herb Atchison updated his colleagues on the four hospitals surrounding the city,. They are Avista Adventist Hospital in Louisville, Good Samaritan Medical Center in Lafayette, North Suburban Medical Centerin Thornton and St. SEE COVID, P4
