Local 12: Misunderstood guidelines about Covid overwhelming doctors

The recent surge in COVID-19 is driving the number of cases to record highs in the course of the pandemic. The impact is being felt at area hospitals who continue to battle the pandemic. In a story published by WKRC-TV, Carl Fichtenbaum, MD, of the Division of Infectious Diseases at the UC College of Medicine, said that the surge is putting a lot of stress on healthcare providers.
