The spread of COVID and its effects have taken encouraging swings in Glendale in the early part of 2022.
Don Herrington, Arizona Department of Health Services interim director, wrote this month that COVID is “showing a continuing decline in cases and other metrics.”
Health Services numbers show 20 COVID deaths have occurred across Arizona since the week beginning March 6, which is a stark decline from the 478 deaths the week of Jan. 23. Also, as of March 15, 10% of ICU beds statewide were in use by COVID patients, down from 39% the week of Jan. 25.
