Edward said his 161-bed hospital in El Centro, the main city in Imperial County about 160km east of San Diego, ended up with 65 Covid-19-positive patients from Monday night’s influx, while the 106-bed Pilgrims Memorial Hospital in nearby Brawley admitted 28.The emergency rooms of both hospitals have imposed a “divert” order requiring any additional Covid-19 cases be redirected to other medical facilities in the region, he said.
The two hospitals serve all of Imperial County, consisting of about 175,000 residents and a local economy based largely on irrigated agriculture. Two main medical centres in Baja’s state capital – Mexicali Hospital General and IMSS Regional Hospital 30 – are both “saturated” by the outbreak, Mario Cervantes, head of relief services for the Red Cross of Mexicali, told Reuters.
