Kentucky hospitals quickly approaching critical level

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — The Kentucky’s health care system is not yet at the point where some hospitals would have to consider rationing care, but Gov. Andy Beshear says the state is “quickly approaching that point.” Kentucky reported 4,468 COVID-19 cases and 30 new deaths Wednesday. Some 2,424  Kentuckians are hospitalized with the virus, up 71 from Tuesday. Statewide, intensive care units are at 90% capacity. A federal medical team arrived in Kentucky over the weekend to assist St. Claire Regional Medical Center in Morehead, which has had to convert space to keep up with the influx of ICU patients due to COVID-19.
