Latest COVID-19 Numbers At Goshen Health
News Release
GOSHEN — “Spread of this virus is still at a higher level than is good for our community. I am pleased the number of patients being admitted to the hospital is a little lower. However, if we want our children to go to school in person, we need to more consistently wear masks when out of our homes and indoors,” said Dr. Dan Nafziger, Goshen Hospital Chief Medical Officer and Infectious Disease Specialist. “When you are not able to maintain physical distance, please wear a mask. Avoiding large group settings indoors is still wise.”
