COVID cases are so high in Orlando, Florida, that residents are being asked to cut back on water usage to save oxygen supplies for patients.
The city’s Utilities Commission asked residents Saturday to stop watering their lawns, citing a “shortage of liquid oxygen linked to the surge of COVID-19 inpatient treatments.” If residents didn’t do their part to reduce water consumption, the commission warned, “water quality may be impacted.
”Linda Ferrone, the commission’s chief customer, and marketing officer said the commission may be forced to issue a boil water notice if conditions do not improve.
“This is another impact of the virus continuing to surge in our community,” Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer said in a Facebook post. “And it’s another result of what happens when residents do not get the vaccine and become critically ill, needing medical support and treatment.”
