Reopening campuses safely State guidelines for universities, colleges By Sarah Hawley shawley@aimediamidwest.com COLUMBUS — Ohio Governor Mike DeWine released guidelines on Thursday for colleges and universities as they look to resume classes, as well as an update on possible funding to help K-12 schools and higher education institutions in the state. The Ohio Department of Higher Education, in consultation with Ohio colleges, universities, the Ohio Department of Health, and health experts across the state have developed guidance to help campuses safely reopen, according to information provided by DeWine’s ofﬁce. The Responsible RestartOhio guidance for Institutions of Higher Education includes minimum operating standards for all campuses, as well as best practices to further enhance those standards. “By implementing these minimum requirements and implementing best practices, our higher education communities can continue to educate students and prevent the spread of COVID-19,” said Gov. DeWine. Because each campus must develop policies and procedures related to COVID-19 testing, new guidance for COVID19 testing at institutions of higher education was also released to help institutions tailor their testing plan to their community and develop policies related to the isolation of symptomatic students, faculty, and staff members. The guidelines came on the week that the University of Rio Grande and Rio Grande Community College resumed in-person classes for the second summer session. In announcing the return to classes last month, the University stated that the decision came after several meetings of it’s COVID task force. “It is important that we recognize the dialogue is still constantly changing.

It plays a signiﬁcant role in Sara daily lives while potentially Hill holding many positive attriContributing butes if it is achievable. columnist The value of health might hold differently to each person — but should always be taken seriously. Health value should positively inﬂuence the conscious, where striving to improve and maintain good health is accessible to everyone. Health value might be viewed differently by each person; but dealing with chronic diseases, illnesses, etc. can make life difﬁcult, as opposed to being in standard or good health. Although most chronic diseases and illnesses are manageable, they may diminish the quality of life. Because of this, health is typically held as very valuable. The higher the value of health to each person, the more likely they are to exercise, consume a balanced diet, and strive for better mental health. Not only will these three factors improve livelihood, they will encourage and cause better health for the present and future. Health value can ultimately mean productivity within one’s life. If the value of health is considered high, the quality of life will likely be high as well. When health value is not considered a priority, it is possible that individuals may struggle, develop health issues, and their quality of life may diminish. Physical, mental, and emotional health should all be held to high value and worked at daily. With good health comes a better life. It is encouraged to view your health at signiﬁcant value and ask yourself, what does health value mean to you? Sara Hill is the Creating Healthy Communities Program Director at the Meigs County Health Department. Campuses From page 1 the same press release. “Things are still changing rapidly during the COVID-19 pandemic. We are planning for any scenario.” “We are very fortunate to be in a rural area of the state,” President Ryan Smith said in the same news release announcing that in-person classes would resume. “…Precautions must still be made for the safety and peace of mind for the Rio family and our community. Recognizing that students from all over the state, will join us for our small class sizes and personal attention, their health and safety remains the utmost importance.” Other colleges and universities have not resumed in person instruction to this point, but are planning for fall. College and University leaders from the region reacted to Thursday’s announcement of the reopening guidelines and proposed funding assistance. “I am extremely grateful for Gov. Mike DeWine’s leadership and strong support of higher education, especially during these unpredictable and unprecedented times. Today’s announcement for a responsible ‘restart’ of higher education includes best practices that will enable Ohio University to continue to provide a high-quality educational experience for our students with health and safety top-of-mind,” Ohio University President M.

Hocking College, a two-year technical college, looks and feels very different from other two-year colleges. Hocking College has residence halls and the student life that accompanies this type of campus. In his typical way, Gov. DeWine has personally listened to each of our institutions as we have shared our common concerns and our unique challenges. He’s listened not as a politician, but as a partner with us, as a parent, a grandparent and someone who cares about those in need. His belief that education is a pathway to prosperity for individuals and our state is not new. The support he has given to our colleges, for the speciﬁc needs we have at this time, will make it possible to deliver on the promise of opportunity for all who are willing to do the work, gain the $131.00 - $137.00; Heifers 600700lbs: $100.00 - $125.00; Steer Calves 300-400lbs: $137.50 - $151.00; 400-500lbs: $130.00 - $157.00; 500600lbs: $140.00 - $148.00; Heifer Calves 300-500lbs: $107.00 - $136.00; 500600lbs: $100.00 - $127.00; skills and get back to work for Ohio communities.” In addition to the guidelines, DeWine announced that he would be asking the Ohio Controlling Board to allocate funding to assist K-12 schools as well as higher education institutions as they prepare for the upcoming school year. DeWine and leaders of the Ohio General Assembly are requesting that the Ohio Controlling Board approve an initial request on Monday to allocate $200 million for higher education and $100 million for K-12 schools from the Coronavirus Relief Fund. “This funding comes from federal CARES Act dollars to help schools meet their unique individual needs,” said DeWine. “We intend for this funding to be very ﬂexible to prevent the spread of COVID-19.” The funding would be available to all public and private schools and for all two and four-year colleges and universities, both public and private, including adult career tech providers. The funding request is in addition to the more than $440 million in direct federal CARES Act funding that Ohio K-12 schools are receiving and the more than $190 million in direct federal funding provided to Ohio’s colleges and universities.

Some assembly required Gallipolis Railroad Freight Station Museum By Sharla Moody Special to OVP GALLIPOLIS — The Gallipolis Railroad Freight Station Museum has added two new additions to its collection this month, bringing a literal “train set” to life - only this train set won’t ﬁt in a basement. “We’re just tickled to death with the way everything is going with being able to get the cars on track,” Jerry Davis, vicepresident of the Gallipolis Railroad Freight Station Museum Board of Directors, said. “It’s just an excellent example of people coming together to do a project they believe in.” The boxcar, which was made in 1947, is the second car the museum has added in a week. A 1947 Baltimore and Ohio Railroad caboose was also added earlier this month. Both cars were given by the West Virginia State Farm Museum in Mason County, West Virginia. The railroad museum also has a passenger lounge car from the Pennsylvania Railroad dating from the 1940s, a Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus car that had housed trapeze artists, a 1960s-era Southern State caboose, and a 1945 quarter steam engine, which Davis said is a rarity because it operated on steam rather than a ﬁrebox. “We’re looking forward to having a small rail yard with the museum,” Davis said. The museum hopes to put more track down to make this dream a reality. “We have track and extra ties that have been given to us and that we have gotten,” Davis added. The museum has received grants and continues to apply for grants to continue its restoration. Two years ago, the museum received a grant Elsie Long | Courtesy Elsie Long | Courtesy Grading work at the Gallipolis Railroad Freight Station Museum in preparation for track. from the General Assembly of Ohio to renovate the station. Now, they are applying to a grant through the Transportation Alternative Program (TAP), which is through the National Highway Service. If the museum receives this grant, Davis hopes to renovate a car with a kitchen and create a place for teachers to bring classes. “Everything we’ve done, we’ve tried to do historically accurate,” Davis said, down to the very last details, including the type of nails used. The railroad museum also hopes to be added to the National Register for Historic Places. After qualifying for the application which reportedly requires professional consultation, the museum has applied to a grant for funding and is now in the process of applying. According to Davis, over 300 students in the Gallipolis City Schools District have been through the station and cars in the past two years. The museum is also open for tours. The location has even become a popular spot for Christmas and prom photos. The museum also receives community support. Local businesses, like Reds Rollen Garage, have offered services to the museum in the past with Reds most recently being a partner in moving both the caboose and boxcar, as well as coordinating the ground work at the museum (grading, track and railroad car placement) in the last two weeks. Museum volunteers and employees from Reds Rollen Garage dealt with scorching temperatures during the most recent project at the railroad museum. Here, employees from Reds’ placing railroad tracks this week. Elsie Long | Courtesy Employees from Reds Rollen Garage remove this boxcar from the West Virginia State Farm Museum. It had to be retro-fitted with a custom-built tandem axel dolly so it could be pulled to the Gallipolis Railroad Freight Station Museum. “Reds is proud to contribute to the community that has supported us for 40 years,” Ernie McQuirt, of Reds said. “The drive that Jerry Davis, Jim Love and Ronnie Keenan display with this project built a tremendous excitement in our team. We were pleased to bring forth the technical knowledge, ability and equipment to safely set this up for the museum.” In addition, Ohio Valley bank and individuals in the community have also made donations of both money, time and historical artifacts. Davis hopes that community members can help with the restoration of the museum in any way that they can, even by providing context Elsie Long | Courtesy This caboose, formerly at the West Virginia State Farm Museum, is placed on the newly secured tracks. for/or photographs. “If anyone has a picture of the freight station when it was open—it was closed in 1980—if they could contact us,” Davis said.

When the president convened a roundtable this week on how to safely reopen schools with coronavirus cases rising, the seats surrounding him were ﬁlled with parents, teachers and top White House ofﬁcials, including the ﬁrst and second ladies. But the head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, usually the leader of disease-ﬁghting efforts, was relegated to secondary seating in the back with the children of parents who had been invited to speak. Intentional or not, it was a telling indication of the regard that President Donald Trump has for the government’s top health professionals as he pushes the country to move past the coronavirus. Whatever they say, he’s determined to revive the battered economy and resuscitate his reelection chances, even as U.S. hospitalizations and deaths keep climbing. Conﬁrmed COVID19 cases in the U.S. hit the 3 million mark this week, with over 130,000 deaths now recorded. The surge has led to new equipment shortages as well as long lines at testing sites and delayed results. States are responding. At midnight Friday, Nevada was to enforce new restrictions on bars and restaurants in several areas including Las Vegas and Reno after a spike in cases. And New Mexico’s Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham said her state was halting indoor restaurant service, closing state parks to nonresidents and suspending autumn contact sports at schools in response to surging infections within its boundaries and neighboring Texas and Arizona. Yet Trump paints a rosy picture of progress and ramps up his attacks on his government’s own public health ofﬁcials, challenging the CDC’s school-reopening guidelines and publicly undermining the nation’s top infectious diseases expert, Anthony Fauci. “Dr. Fauci is a nice man, but he’s made a lot of mistakes,” Trump told Fox News Channel host Sean Hannity in a call-in interview Thursday, pointing, in part, to changes in guidance on mask-wearing over time. In his latest beef with the CDC, the president accused the Atlantabased federal agency of “asking schools to do very impractical things” in order to reopen. The recommended measures include spacing students’ desks 6 feet apart, staggering start and arrival times, and teaching kids effective hygiene measures to try to prevent infections. After Trump’s scolding comment, Vice President Mike Pence announced Wednesday that the CDC would be “issuing new guidance” that would “give all-new tools to our schools.” But the agency’s director, Robert Redﬁeld, pushed back amid criticism that he was bowing to pressure from the president. “I want to clarify, really what we’re providing is different reference documents. ... It’s not a revision of the guidelines,” he said the next day. Indeed, draft documents obtained by The Associated Press seem to conﬁrm Redﬁeld’s assertion, though ofﬁcials stress the drafts are still under review. COVID have been hospitalized and there has been one death. Lawrence County has reported 82 cases as of Friday afternoon with eight hospitalizations and zero deaths. The case count is an increase of 10 since July 1. Vinton County has reported 23 cases (six hospitalizations, two deaths), one since July 1; while Jackson County has reported 27 cases (three hospitalizations, zero deaths), two since the beginning of July. As of the 2 p.m. update on Friday, the Ohio Department of Health is reporting a total of 62,856 cases, an increase of 1,525 from the previous day. There was also an increase of 131 in hospitalizations to a total of 8,701 hospitalizations due to COVID-19 since the pandemic began. Overall COVID-19 deaths in Ohio increased by 26 to a total of 3,032 deaths. In the 5 p.m. update on Friday, West Virginia DHHR reported a total of 3,983 cases and 95 deaths. These numbers show 157 new cases in 24 hours and no new deaths. © 2020 Ohio Valley Publishing, all rights reserved. From page 1 individuals; 1 death; and 10 active and/or hospitalized cases. Six of the 20 individuals have required hospitalization, with two still hospitalized. Meigs County remains at a total of 12 cases (10 conﬁrmed and 2 probable) since the county’s ﬁrst case was reported in early April. Currently there is one active case in the county, with 11 individuals reported as recovered from the virus. None of the individuals have required hospitalization. There have been four females and eight males with COVID-19 cases in Meigs County. Around the region, Athens County has seen cases climb dramatically in recent days, now reporting 111 cases, 76 of which are considered active. On July 1, Athens County had reported a total of 56 cases, nearly doubling since that time. Cases with an onset date of July 1 or more recent in Athens County include 9 in the 0-19 age range and 42 in the 20-29 age range. Of the 111 cases, nine Saturday, July 11, 2020 5 Storm clouds hang over Trump’s reboot By Jonathan Lemire and Bill Barrow Associated Press MIAMI — Friday was supposed to be the day President Donald Trump’s campaign reboot itself got a reboot. Instead, it hit another snag. Amid uncertainty over whether he can still draw big and enthusiastic crowds to his signature rallies in the coronavirus era, Trump postponed a planned Saturday rally in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, citing a tropical storm expected to hit a swath of the Eastern United States. “With Tropical Storm Fay heading towards the Great State of New Hampshire this weekend, we are forced to reschedule our Portsmouth, New Hampshire Rally at the Portsmouth International Airport at Pease,” Trump tweeted. “Stay safe, we will be there soon!” The latest setback came as the Trump campaign casts about for ways to reverse its recent downward slide in the polls at a time when the president is facing widespread criticism over his handling of the pandemic and his harsh stance against those protesting racial injustice. With growing whispers of a staff shakeup and behind-the-scenes ﬁngerpointing among White House, campaign and Republican Party ofﬁcials, the campaign has been looking for something to reverse the negative Evan Vucci | AP President Donald Trump claps after delivering a speech about counternarcotics operations at U.S. Southern Command on Friday, in Doral, Fla. momentum. But attack lines against Democratic rival Joe Biden have failed to get traction and attempts to get Trump back on the road have faltered. His rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, three weeks ago was intended to mark his triumphal return to the trail, but it produced a surprisingly sparse crowd and campaign travel again was put on hold. Trump’s visit to Florida was supposed to launch back-to-back days of highproﬁle campaigning but instead wound up being a one-off. He did ﬁt in a campaign fundraiser in South Florida and events focused on government counternarcotics efforts and support for the Venezuelan people. At his Doral event with Venezuelan expatriates, Trump courted a segment of Florida’s diverse Hispanic population by sharpening an emerging attack line: Biden might not be a socialist, but he is running past his expiration date and controlled by an ascendant liberal wing of the Democratic Party. “Republicans are the party of freedom, and Democrats are the party of socialism and worse,” Trump said. His visit to Florida took him to terrain where COVID-19’s surge threatens his hold on a must-win state and raises questions about Republican aims to hold their nominating convention in Jacksonville next month. Biden pointed to Florida’s rising coronavirus cases, saying, “It is clear that Trump’s response — ignore, blame others, and distract — has come at the expense of Florida families.” But Saturday’s New Hampshire visit was more problematic. Campaign ofﬁcials privately acknowledged there had been fears all along about how many people would attend the Portsmouth rally. After the disappointing turnout in Tulsa, aides were intent on avoiding a repeat. Once the storm entered the forecast, even if the rain was expected to stop in the hours before the rally, concerns about turnout only grew. For the event’s scheduled start time Saturday evening, Weather. Com forecast a 15% chance of rain. But there was also strong opposition to Trump’s rally among some prominent New Hampshire Republicans. Judd Gregg, who previously served New Hampshire both as a governor and senator, bluntly called Trump’s planned appearance “a mistake.” GCCVB From page 1 Visitors Bureau, which stated the tournament is presented by 7 Rivers Marina LLC and Douglas Builders. The event’s home port was the Gallipolis Public Use Area along the Ohio River. “We were extremely pleased with the tournament and the number of anglers who participated considering this was the ﬁrst time they’ve been in Gallipolis,” Amanda Crouse, executive director of the GCCVB, said. “Given all the circumstances with the COVID19, we were grateful to have this group in town supporting our businesses.

More than a dozen schools have reported positive tests for the virus among athletes in the past month but the bad news picked up this week as the Ivy League canceled all fall sports and Stanford announced it was cutting 11 varsity sports. The Big Ten decision is the biggest yet because Bowl Subdivision football games — more than 40 of them, all moneymakers in different ways — were simply erased. And the move didn’t wash away fears the entire fall season could be in jeopardy. “I am really concerned, that is the question of the day,” Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith said on a conference call after the announcement. “I was cautiously optimistic. I’m not even there now.” Besides football, the sports affected include men’s and women’s cross country, ﬁeld hockey, men’s and women’s soccer, and women’s volleyball. “By limiting competition to other Big Ten institutions, the conference will have the greatest ﬂexibility to adjust its own operations throughout the season and make quick decisions in realtime based on the most current evolving medical advice and the ﬂuid nature of the pandemic,” the Big Ten said. The other big conferences, the SEC, ACC, Big 12 and Pac-12, have all indicated they intend to play fall sports. “The Big Ten decisions are interesting and provide additional information to inform our discussions,” Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby said. “At this time our medical and scientiﬁc advisors have suggested we should move ahead slowly and with constant re-evaluation. We plan to continue to prepare for all available scenarios until we are informed that some are no longer viable.” Southeastern Conference Commissioner Greg Sankey said league ofﬁcials “will continue to meet with regularly with our campus leaders in the coming weeks, guided by the medical advisors, to make the important decisions necessary to determine the best path forward related to the SEC fall sports.” The marquee nonconference matchups in the Big Ten this season included Notre Dame vs. Wisconsin on Oct. 3 at Lambeau Field, home See FOOTBALL | 9 Hargraves widens lead in Riverside Senior League Staff Report Charlie Hargraves of New Haven has 71.5 points to lead Dewey Smith of Bidwell with 62.5 points in the Riverside Senior Men’s Golf League.

The food has been a big talking point so far, especially after a handful of players turned to social media to share what got portrayed as less-than-superb meals during the brief quarantine period. “For the most part, everything has been pretty good in my opinion,” Nets guard Joe Harris said. “They’ve done a good job taking care of us and making sure to accommodate us in every area as much as possible.” Learning the campus has been another key for the ﬁrst few days, and that process likely will continue for a while since teams will be using all sorts of different facilities while getting back into the practice routine. “We have to make the best out of it,” Vucevic said. “You know, this is our job.

(AP) — Lake Erie’s annual blob of peagreen algae is expected to be smaller this summer than a year ago following a relatively dry spring, but that doesn’t necessarily reﬂect signiﬁcant improvement toward reducing the nutrient pollution that causes it, scientists said Thursday. A forecast released by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predicts the algae bloom on the shallowest of the Great Lakes will reach 4.5 on its severity index — a “moderate” reading. That’s lower than last year’s 7.3 rating but higher than the 3.8 measured in 2018. Anything above 5 indicates a severe problem. The measurements indicate the bloom’s biomass — the amount of algae in the water for an extended period. The largest occurred in 2011, which had a severity index of 10, and in 2015, when it hit 10.5. The drop-off this year is expected because of a decrease in spring rainfall from 2019, NOAA oceanographer Rick Stumpf said. Spring storms can wash newly applied manure and chemical fertilizers that feed the algae into the lake and its tributary streams and rivers — particularly the Maumee River on the lake’s western side. “A smaller bloom forecast for Lake Erie and the surrounding coastal communities is encouraging, but we cannot be complacent,” said Nicole LeBoeuf, acting director of NOAA’s National Ocean Service. Lake Erie’s blooms consist of blue-green algae or cyanobacteria, which can produce a liver toxin called microcystin that is harmful to humans and animals. The level of toxicity at a given time isn’t connected to the size of the bloom, because toxins in a larger mass may be less concentrated than in a smaller one. NOAA and other U.S. and Canadian agencies have set a goal of reducing the Lake Erie bloom to a 3 on the index, which was last seen in 2012. Ohio, Michigan and the Canadian province of Ontario also have pledged to reduce runoff of phosphorus — a nutrient that feeds the blooms — by 40% by 2025 from the 2015 amount. But measurements in the Maumee River and other key tributaries have shown no trend toward lower phosphorus inputs to the lake since the early 2000s, said Laura Johnson, director of the National Center for Water Quality Research at Heidelberg University in Ohio. About 325 tons of the type of phosphorus that nourishes algae is expected to ﬂow into the lake’s central and western basins this year, Stumpf said. That total would need to be 30% lower to meet the reduction goal. “We cannot cross our ﬁngers and hope that drier weather will keep us safe,” said Don Scavia, a professor emeritus at the University of Michigan and a member of the forecast team. “These blooms are driven by diffuse phosphorus sources from the agriculturally dominated Maumee River watershed,” Scavia said. “Until the phosphorus inputs are reduced signiﬁcantly and consistently so that only Saturday, July 11, 2020 11 fell to Bosnian Serb forces, who then carried out the killings of more than 8,000 Muslim men and boys.

Cyanobacteria, or bluegreen algae, began growing in the lake last week, NOAA said. A visible bloom is expect to begin showing up in mid to late July. “Much of the lake will be ﬁne most of the time,” Stumpf said, but areas with high concentrations of algae will have a “strong risk of scum” in the water when winds are calm. Ohio and Michigan have encouraged farmers to make greater use of best-management practices such as planting off-season cover crops and buffer strips between croplands and streams to prevent runoff. Applying fertilizer in ways that prevent it from being washed away can reduce levels of the type of phosphorus that feeds harmful algae, Johnson said. Environmentalists have long urged the states to make such measures mandatory. Ohio announced plans this year to impose speciﬁc limits on phosphorus ﬂows. “Lists of best management practices are nice but leaders need to provide an accounting of progress and a plan of action so the public knows where things stand and how their money is being spent,” said Crystal M.C. Davis, policy director with the Alliance for the Great Lakes.

We all have to realize that minimizing risk does not eliminate risk, therefore, each plan contains its own element of risk that has to be assumed by all.” The district is considering three plans, and will be asking for input from parents in the district as part of the decision making process. Option 1 — “A full restart with all students present ﬁve days each week. With this plan, social distancing will not be able to be maintained in our classrooms as space just will not allow that to happen. Implementing this plan would require a face covering policy be implemented mandating that each student wear a mask at all times while present in our school buildings.” Option 2 — “A second plan would consist of a blended learning approach where approximately 50% of our student body would be present 2-3 days each week for face-to-face instruction while being on our remote learning plan for the other days of the week. Social distancing could be maintained in this plan which gives more latitude in the development of a face covering policy.” Option 3 — “The last plan is a full remote learning plan similar to what was attempted this spring when schools were originally closed. We will be conducting professional development for our teachers to better respond to the remote learning platform as we know we need to provide a curriculum with ﬁdelity.” “Each of these plans entail safety protocols such as sanitizing our buildings and surfaces, as well as hand sanitizing, and face covering recommendations. Face coverings for all staff members is mandated by Governor DeWine. We are still awaiting ﬁnal guidance on busing regulations and the social distancing requirements for busing our students,” continued Ohlinger. The letter states that a survey will be conducted through an all-call in order to gather data to assist as plans are ﬁnalized. “I am requesting that each household take a few minutes of time to take this survey to help guide our planning process,” concluding Ohlinger. © 2020 Ohio Valley Publishing, all rights reserved. TODAY 8 AM WEATHER By Adriana Gomez Licon and Kelli Kennedy Associated Press MIAMI — Fighting a surge in coronavirus cases in the spring, Florida appeared to be “ﬂattening the curve” as theme parks shuttered, sugar sand beaches closed and residents heeded orders to stay home. Now, it’s almost as if that never happened. Bars, restaurants and gyms began reopening in May — critics said it was too soon — and weeks later, the Sunshine State became one of the country’s virus hot spots, experiencing an alarming surge in cases. On Thursday, ofﬁcials reported 120 deaths in one day, the highest number since the previous record of 113 in early May. “We thought maybe we could keep this thing under wraps.

Before that, available data only showed overall hospital occupancy and capacity, including noncoronavirus patients. Hospital networks are scrambling to hire more health care workers to expand their COVID units. Last week, hospitals in several cities announced they would again halt or reduce nonemergency procedures to free up space. Wilson and other health experts believe the spike was sparked in large part by young people who weren’t experiencing day on Facebook. “But eventually ... it caught up to us.” From Miami to Jacksonville and Tampa, hospitals in June and July have seen their numbers of coronavirus patients triple, with new patients outpacing those being discharged.

Texas, which is marking its deadliest week of the pandemic, on Thursday reported a record daily death toll of more than 100, a new high for hospitalizations for the 10th consecutive day, and a nearly 16% positive test rate, its highest yet. In Arizona, hospitals were at nearly 90% capacity, with a record 3,437 patients hospitalized as of Wednesday, and a record number of those, 575, on ventilators, health ofﬁcials said. Earlier in the week, a record high number of 871 patients ﬁlled ICU beds.
