BUFFALO, N.Y. — ​Two area hospitals say they have zero COVID patients.

Millard Fillmore Suburban and Oishei Children’s Hospital say it's been 460 days since there weren't any COVID patients admitted.

"This is tremendous news for our community and a tremendous accomplishment for our staff," said Bob Nesselbush, CEO of Kaleida Health. "Our teams across the health system were on the front lines of one of the most challenging viruses seen in more than 100 years. From the bruises on their faces after wearing masks for 12 hours, to the stress of fighting for the lives of each patient, to the fear of contracting the virus themselves or bringing it home to loved ones, our staff persevered. The Kaleida Health team was there for all of us in our darkest times. And they never wavered in their commitment to their patients or their co-workers. We thank them for this incredible dedication and commitment. Our community is better because of their efforts."

Kaleida representatives say they saw a record high number of 212 COVID patients on December 10.

And, as of now, Buffalo General is only caring for two COVID patients.
