ANDROSCOGGIN VALLEY — While the number of COVID-19 patients has dropped at the North Country’s three hospitals, health-care providers are seeing an increase in testing and in the number of positive cases.

“I think it is safe to say that Omicron is here. We’re seeing a lot more COVID-positive patients but, like the rest of the country, less severe illnesses that would require you to get hospitalized,” said Androscoggin Valley Hospital Vice President of Patient Care Services Brian O’Hearn.
