Editor's Note
The Louisiana Department of Health has requested 6,000 military nurses to help handle increasing patient volumes in the state because of the surge in COVID-19 cases, the August 17 k945.com reports.
The report also notes that:
- 95% of all COVID-19 cases in Louisiana are due to the Delta variant
- there are 106 new cases of COVID-19 per 100,000 residents per day
- the number of Louisiana residents hospitalized with COVID-19 was 2,956 as of August 17.
The hope is that bringing in additional nurses can help alleviate shortages and burnout, the report says.
