It’s unclear how much pressure the coronavirus outbreak will
put on the rural healthcare system.
National Rural Health Association CEO Alan Morgan says its critical hospitals don’t get overburdened.
“With the limited capacity that most rural hospitals and rural health clinics have to be able to address this potential crisis, this is a great time to practice everything you’re hearing now in regards to washing your hands, social isolation.”
He tells Brownfield rural demographics are cause for alarm given what is known about COVID-19.
