@GovCox Cox: To those health care providers, our heart breaks that youβre going through this again. Especially caring for people who didnβt take the opportunity to protect themselves.
For first time in pandemic we had a moment Friday evening where there was no ICU space. #utpol
Cox: Rural hospital was looking to transfer a patient to a referral ICU and was turned away. Only lasted a few hours but in critical care every minute counts.
Cox says he will meet with the Lege this week. Heβs met with Lege leaders regularly over last two weeks. #utpol
