Providence pauses non-emergency procedures and visitation

EVERETT — As hospitalizations catch up with record-high local COVID-19 infections, Everett’s Providence hospital campuses are clamping down on visitations.

And for the first time since the beginning of the pandemic, non-emergency procedures will be put on hold.

“It’s been very fast,” said Jay Cook, chief medical officer for Providence Regional Medical Center, in an interview Tuesday with The Daily Herald. “Within the last week our in-patient hospital volumes have doubled. Actually, a little bit more than doubled.”

The surge will likely continue, he said, since hospitalizations tend to lag case surges.
