As the world enters its fourth month of the COVID-19 pandemic with all Californians now mandated to wear face coverings in public spaces, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center reaffirmed that it was ready for a surge. Starting in March, the hospital prepared for increased capacity to care for all patients should a surge in COVID-19 cases occur, subsequently treating more COVID-19 patients than any other hospital in Southern California.
Among those admitted COVID-19 patients who finished their course of treatment, 88 percent have been discharged to continue their recuperation, according to the hospital.
