LUMBERTON — Southeastern Regional Medical Center is now posting COVID-19 statistic on its website.

The information can be seen in a graphic at http://www.srmc.org/main/covid-19-update.html. The goal is to update the information each weekday.

The graphic will show the number of patients who have tested positive for the new coronavirus and are in isolation, there were none as of Monday evening; the number of patients under investigation and in isolation, six; the number of specimens submitted for testing, 64; and the number of employees in quarantine, 11. The employees are in self-imposed quarantine because they may have traveled to virus hotspot.

The information is being made available by Southeastern Health as one more way to safeguard its health-care team and community against COVID-19, said Jason Cox, Southeastern Health vice president and SRMC chief operating officer.

Cox also is Southeastern Health’s COVID-19 Incident commander.

“We are releasing information about coronavirus activity in your health-care system. This information shows the increased activity in our area,” Cox said. “We hope it shows SeHealth is prepared to continue in its mission to provide high-quality, compassionate care throughout this crisis.”

Southeastern Health also hopes the information helps strengthens the Robeson County residents’ resolve in the fight against COVID-19, he said. He urged residents to continue to use hand hygiene, social distance, cough etiquette and stay-at-home adherence.
