DFW hospitals are seeing a drop in COVID cases but more patients staying longer in ICU, NBC DFW reports. Parkland Hospital is seeing more people who are no longer infected but still too sick to go home. “We almost have as many patients recovering from COVID in the hospital as we do patients that are here with infectious active COVID, “said Parkland Chief Medical Officer Dr. Joseph Chang.
