Idaho enacts crisis hospital care standards amid COVID surge
Fox News
Idaho public health leaders on Tuesday activated “crisis standards of care” for the state's northern hospitals because there are more coronavirus patients than the institutions can handle.
It came as the state's confirmed coronavirus cases skyrocketed in recent weeks. Idaho has one of the lowest vaccination rates in the U.S. The agency cited "a severe shortage of staffing and available beds in the northern area of the state caused by a massive increase in patients with COVID-19 who require hospitalization."More Related News
