Wichita hospitals could hit capacity this month with COVID-19 patients, mayor says

Wichita hospitals could hit their capacities this month as the number of COVID-19 patients surge, the mayor said Monday. Mayor Brandon Whipple’s warning comes as the Sedgwick County Health Department reports that “both hospitals,” presumably Wesley Healthcare and Ascension Via Christi, are converting rooms to intensive care units. But that action reduces the capacity for other patients.
