County Mayor Jerry Demings said that we’ve now entered “crisis mode”. The county’s positivity rate has been hovering around 14% and even reached 20% on Sunday.
AdventHealth is now in “red status”, meaning it will halt elective surgeries until the numbers relent but the hospital system confirmed that it had necessary resources even if the cases continue to rise.
Demings said there’s no time more urgent than the present to get vaccinated and encouraged Orange County residents to get tested and to mask up, whether they’re vaccinated or not.
