Manitoba hospital forced to triage ER patients in their cars as COVID-19 cases surge

In her 13 years as a nurse, Sarah Neufeld has never experienced a shift like last weekend.

Patients, many having tested positive for COVID-19, were being triaged in their vehicles while waiting to be admitted to Bethesda Regional Health Centre in Steinbach, about 60 kilometres southeast of Winnipeg. Others received treatment in ambulance bays as the community’s small emergency room struggled to keep up with a recent – and continuing – surge in COVID-19 cases.

“We’re used to having a somewhat busy emergency department,” said the registered nurse, but “it was chaos.”

Wonder why they ran this Op knowing it would be found out..is it to push those into rejecting it all? Interesting
