At St. Tammany Health System, which has seen its number of COVID-positive inpatients double in the past two weeks and more than triple since late October, Infectious Disease Specialist Dr. Mike Hill said it all boils down to the same basic guidance experts have been giving for months. He joins other local and state officials asking for caution over the holiday weekend. Dr. Hill said that we all know what causes the spread of COVID, and it’s social gatherings, especially those that are indoors. He said it is also lax mask-wearing and failure to socially distance from others who don’t live in your household. So, this Thanksgiving has the potential to be a perfect storm as far as COVID infections are concerned unless people play it smart.
