Description

As hospitalizations are at record levels, many states are placing new restrictions to halt the spread of the coronavirus. In Utah, Governor Gary Herbert has called for a mask mandate while ICU wards are near capacity. 

In this episode, Dr. Russell Vinik, chief medical operations officer at University of Utah Health, talks about the daunting task his staff faces in treating COVID patients with a lack of resources. 

The doctor is also concerned about the winter, which comes earlier in Utah, and what that will mean for social distancing.
