Ennis City Manager Calls COVID-19 Situation Dire
Tonight in a Facebook post the Ennis City Manager said the following, “
The situation with the COVID-19 Pandemic and the threat it poses to our families, friends and neighbors is worse now than ever. Our healthcare providers, our doctors, nurses and medical facilities are worn-out and overwhelmed.
As I write this, regular hospital beds are almost full and there is only one Intensive Care Unit (ICU) Bed available in Ellis County. What that means is, people with severe illnesses or injuries must be transferred to a facility with bed capacity but when all facilities are full to overflowing, they may not get the urgent care they need to save their life.
