Pediatric hospitals in Florida have become \u201ccompletely overwhelmed\u201d with young patients battling COVID-19 amid the spread of the highly contagious Delta variant, a doctor says.<\/p>\n

The grim development comes as Florida on Sunday reported having the highest number of children \u2014 172 \u2014 hospitalized with the coronavirus, according to\u00a0data<\/a>\u00a0from the US Department of Health and Human Services.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe numbers of cases in our hospitals in children and our children\u2019s hospitals are completely overwhelmed,\u201d said Dr. Aileen Marty, an infectious-disease expert at Florida International University, to CNN<\/a> late Friday.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur pediatricians, the nursing, the staff are exhausted, and the children are suffering. And it is absolutely devastating \u2026 Our children are very much affected. We\u2019ve never seen numbers like this before,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has faced criticism for forbidding school districts from requiring masks for students and school workers amid the crisis, saying it should be up the parents and employees to decide.<\/p>\n

Republican Sen. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana on Sunday blasted DeSantis for standing in the way of mask mandates.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe local officials should have control here,\u201d said Cassidy, who is also a physician, CNN\u2019s \u201cState of the Union.\u201d<\/a> \u201cWhenever politicians mess with public health, usually it doesn\u2019t work out well for public health.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Cassidy said the Republican governor\u2019s app<\/a>roach went against conservative values.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m a conservative. I think you govern best when you govern closest to the people being governed,\u201d Cassidy said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd if a local community is [seeing] their ICU is full and the people at the local schools see that they\u2019ve got to make sure they stay open because otherwise children miss out for another year of school and they put in policy, then the local officials should be listened to. That is a conservative principle.\u201d<\/p>\n

Surging case numbers have been recorded in the state amid the spread of the highly contagious Delta variant.<\/p>\n

Florida broke a new record over the weekend for COVID-19 cases \u2014 recording 134,506 infections Friday for the first time since the pandemic began.<\/p>\n

The state\u2019s hospitalizations also reached their highest point in the pandemic last week, with more than 12,864 confirmed COVID-19 patients as of Friday.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
