Critical care beds
"mostly full" at all
County hospitals tonight
The number of coronavirus cases confirmed by the Maryland Health Department has continued on an upward track recently. Tonight, Montgomery County Fire & Rescue Services spokesperson Pete Piringer confirmed that critical care beds at all county hospitals are "mostly full" this evening. This triggers a Blue Alert for MCFRS crews. County EMS supervisors are actively managing patient distribution countywide at this hour.
"All area hospitals are busy," Piringer said. As a result, patients may be transported to a hospital further away from their home until beds free up.
