Imperial County’s only two hospitals stopped taking COVID-19 patients delivered by ambulance Tuesday, citing a sudden surge of admissions linked to cross-border traffic originating in Mexicali., made Tuesday morning on Facebook by Dr. Adolphe Edward, chief executive officer of El Centro Regional Medical Center, came as county and state emergency services teams scrambled to help meet demand.
Both hospitals continue to examine and stabilize all patients who arrive for treatment as required by the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act. However, transfers to other hospitals, including those in Riverside County, are being scheduled through a state call center if they have COVID symptoms and need to be admitted to an inpatient unit.
“It’s challenging to staff in the current situation,” Kennerson said. “We’re trying to get more nurses, but that is a limited capacity in Imperial County.”Larry Lewis, chief executive officer at Pioneers, agreed, saying in an email Tuesday evening that Imperial County has seen a 48% increase in COVID patients over the past three days, forcing a scramble for staffing.
Illegal aliens. Small hospitals. Makes sense.
Patients from Mexico
Trump Genocide!
When did the population base increase to 100,000? 40 people out of 100,000? Most of the people are from Baja/Mexico. Headlines don't reveal true story.
You seem to be the only national news outlet that didn’t drop your paywall of coronavirus coverage.
But Trump said it was over and moved on to 'Obamagate'.
I wonder why 🙄🤦🏻♀️
