Hospital inundated with COVID: Hillcrest Hospital Emergency Room for emergency care, not COVID testing
Over 47 patients were tested for COVID-19 last weekend at Hillcrest Hospital.
“A community testing site such as the health department or your primary care provider (PCP) should be utilized for COVID testing and for treatment of minor COVID symptoms,” Hillcrest Communications Manager Rachel Weaver Smith said. “The ER is not the correct place to come if you just want a COVID swab and a note for work. If you need emergency care, we are here for you.”
