Ochsner: 'Headed in the right direction' with decline in COVID patients

Ochsner Health is seeing a "continued decline" in COVID-19 patients, officials said in a media briefing Thursday morning.

The system currently has 386 COVID patients, less than half of the patients being cared for one month ago, 1,009. Though the numbers have declined dramatically, Ochsner says it realizes thousands of people are displaced, and testing/vaccines have been disrupted.
