With rising COVID numbers in Orange Walk, there is added stress on the Northern Regional Hospital which is the main facility in the north for the hospitalization of critical COVID-19 patients. That aside, the NRH has to treat other patients and also engage in contact tracing. DHS Marvin Manzanero says that fortunately at this time there is only one COVID-19 patient hospitalized at the NRH.

“The other routine activities have to continue to happen. It is not only everything COVID-19 related, but there are many items that one can highlight. There was a pregnant woman that was referred from Corozal to Orange Walk, who has delivered by C-section and both the female and the child were doing okay.”

“In terms of beds; I know you said there had a capacity of twelve, I believe. Do they still have space?”

Dr. Marvin Manzanero

“They only have one patient hospitalised in today’s report.”
