JONESBORO â As more and more local residents become infected by the coronavirus, more complications develop in emergency services.
Gov. Asa Hutchinson called attention Thursday to one of those issues he learned of in Jonesboro â ambulances stacking up at hospital emergency rooms, resulting in slower response to subsequent emergency calls.
But Bill Campbell, communications director for the City of Jonesboro, said Friday itâs not just a local problem, but a worldwide issue as COVID-19 surges into the winter.
Toby Emerson, owner of Emerson Ambulance Service, said the issue began to develop here in October.
He said officials at both NEA Baptist Memorial Hospital and St. Bernards Medical Center are doing their best to help alleviate the problem for ambulance providers.
