Small win over the virus declared

Fewer COVID-19 patients need to be hospitalized in the Upstate, and Prisma Health will no longer run a dedicated COVID unit at its North Greenville Hospital.  With that change, Prisma will re-open its long term acute-care North Greenville unit and move forward with plans to expand a primary care clinic.  But Prisma’s Dr. Wendell James makes this precautionary statement:  “While the number of COVID-19 hospitalized patients needing intensive care has decreased and stabilized, we know that COVID-19 is still with us.”  James calls this a small victory over the virus.
