Rising Cases And Hospital Bed Capacity
|
|
Dr. Rebecca Sunenshine addresses concerns about hospital bed capacity with COVID-19 cases increasing in the community. Maricopa County currently has enough beds to handle COVID-19 patients. |

What the Data Shows
Public Health continues to see an increase in cases with nearly 1,000 reported over the past 24 hours. We expected a rise in cases with more people interacting in the community, but the rate at which cases are increasing is concerning.
It’s important for everyone to remember that this is a disease that anyone can get.
9% of cases are 19 years old or younger 47% of cases are people ages 20-44 29% of cases are people ages 45-64 15% of cases are people over the age of 65
We know the risk of serious illness is greater for adults over 65 and those with chronic medical conditions, but anyone can spread the disease and a positive case typically spreads the virus to two to three others. That’s why each of us needs to take protective measures to help slow the spread.

Testing
|
|
If you are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms or believe you may have been exposed to the virus, you can get a test without going to see a doctor first. Visit the Arizona Department of Health Services website to see available testing locations.
|
Close Contacts
If you are a close contact of someone infected with COVID-19, you will receive a phone call from Public Health. You’ll be provided information about how to monitor for symptoms of illness for 14 days and what protective measures you should take during that time to prevent potential exposure to others. To help answer questions about the contact tracing process, including how to verify the call is coming from Public Health, visit Maricopa.gov/CovidTracing.

CARES Act Funding for Small Businesses
Marciopa County is directing $23 million in CARES Act funding to small businesses. While the details are still being worked out, the plan approved by the Board will establish a grant program that would support small businesses and non-profit organizations that can demonstrate financial hardship because of COVID-19. Because the cities of Phoenix and Mesa also received significant CARES Act funding, businesses and non-profits in those cities would not be eligible to apply.
