Residents of Elkhart County–We Face a Crisis.
COVID-19 positivity rates, hospitalizations and deaths are some of the highest in the state and they’re all rising.
Hospitals are reaching capacity and we are at risk for not having enough beds or staff to care for our community - not just coronavirus patients, but cancer, heart, ER patients or anyone with medical needs. Manufacturers are being impacted with employees being quarantined and sick and our local small businesses need to stay open to remain in business.
