SAN ANTONIO — San Antonio hospitals are pleading for help as the number of coronavirus patients surges.
The CEOs of seven local hospitals sent a letter Thursday along with the executive director of STRAC, a council that coordinates with the hospitals.
The letter says we are on track to surpass the peak of the July surge in a matter of days. According to the latest update, there are more than 1,100 COVID patients in Bexar County Hospitals. The record high was over 1,200 in July.
Hospital leaders are urging the community to do everything they can to stop the spread, including:
- Wear your mask in public
- Stay home whenever you can
- Only gather with your immediate household
- Wash your hands frequently
