The surge capacity of the hospital is 50 beds (14 ICU). If this disease should spread quickly, the number of needed beds may surpass the number of beds available. This is why social distancing, limiting personal contact, covering your cough and sneeze, washing your hands, and staying at home unless it is an emergent situation are critical actions. These behaviors help to slow down the spread of the disease to people at high risk who may need hospitalization. Patients who are hospi-talized for other medical conditions need to be considered in this bed count, also.
