APPLE VALLEY, CALIFORNIA - JANUARY 05: A patient lies on a stretcher in a hallway in the overloaded Emergency Room at Providence St. Mary Medical Center amid a surge in COVID-19 patients in Southern California on January 5, 2021 in Apple Valley, California. California has issued a new directive ordering hospitals with space to accept patients from other hospitals which have run out of ICU beds due to the coronavirus pandemic. The order could result in patients being shipped from Southern California to Northern California as Southern California continues to have zero percent of its remaining ICU (Intensive Care Unit) bed capacity.
