CHA Comments on Hospital Response for COVID-19 Pandemic
Because the demand for testing is outpacing the supply, it is crucial that hospitals prioritize testing for patients who are in the hospital needing acute care, health care workers and first responders and those presenting to the hospital ER with life-threatening illness.

Currently, Colorado hospitals are ready and able to care for COVID patients but a big surge could overwhelm us. This great resource from @9NEWS shows how critically important it is to #flattenthecurve. #coleg @chrisvanderveen

Colorado hospitals have seen a marked increase in patients needing hospitalization in the past 24 hours. https://twitter.com/CBSDenver/status/1240048289854025728
@COHospitalAssn Thanks--and keep it up. We need to protect access to the hospitals for those who really need it.
Thanks Chris for helping get the word out. @pweiser challenge accepted. We will continue to share information like this to help keep people safe!
"At this time, it is critical that patients who need testing only present at the hospital if they have life-threatening symptoms like shortness of breath or trouble breathing. Those with mild symptoms should first talk with a primary care provider" according to CHA
