The Covid-19 crisis continues to stress hospitals in Pinellas County, physicians and executives from HCA Healthcare, BayCare Health System and Advent Health told the Board of County Commissioners.
The number of new cases reported daily and the percent of people who test positive has declined from previous weeks, according to the county's top public health official. But the Pinellas County Board of County Commissioners voted to extend the county's local state of emergency to July 31, after hearing doctors describe a grim situation in some hospitals.
