The only two hospitals in California's Imperial County near the U.S.-Mexico border were forced to close their doors to new coronavirus patients after being hit by a surge in COVID-19 cases from across the border
LOS ANGELES - The only two hospitals in Southern California’s rural Imperial County were forced to close their doors to new coronavirus patients on Tuesday, after admitting scores believed stricken with the virus from across the border in Mexico, officials said.
The two ERs will remain open to non-coronavirus cases, and most COVID-19 patients already admitted would remain, he said. About 80% of residents in the larger Imperial Valley, straddling both sides of the border, are Hispanic, with many considered bi-national. An estimated 265,000 U.S. citizens and Mexicans with American “green cards” conferring permanent-residency status, live in Baja. Many are retirees.
Some arriving ambulances have had to wait hours to deliver new patients, while others were turned away altogether, he said.
