🚨On Monday, University of Kansas Health System Chief Medical Officer Dr. Steven Stites reported more than 500 employees were out due to COVID-19. kshb.com/news/coronavir…
We have over 500 employees out and that's a big number," chief medical officer Dr. Steven Stites said. "They're both on isolation and people who are quarantined..."
"..it's a challenge because I suspect in our area we have a mix of delta and omicron, I've seen some things that are speculating we're probably on 45% Delta and 50% or 60% of omicron."
"If you want to keep schools open and you want to keep businesses open, you've got to keep people healthy. You're either not going to have enough teachers or enough staff or too many students out in this omicron wave to think that you're going to really have successful schools"
