SALISBURY, Md. One married couple fought COVID-19 at the same time.
The disease forced both the husband and wife into the hospital for separate, long-stretched battles in TidalHealth Peninsula Regional s intensive care unit, according to the health system. As their conditions failed to improve, the family had a difficult decision to make.
