With positive COVID-19 cases spiking in Elkhart County as the state works to emerge from quarantine, the CEO of Goshen Hospital is worried the hospital could be overwhelmed with new cases if the upward trend is not dealt with swiftly.
Randy Christophel, president and CEO of Goshen Health, shared his concerns with the Goshen City Council Tuesday.
Christophel noted Elkhart County has passed Allen County to become one of the top three counties in the state when it comes to positive COVID-19 cases.
As of Sunday, Elkhart County had a total of 2,603 positive cases reported, behind just Lake County, which had 4,400 positive cases reported, and Marion County, which had 10,945 positive cases reported.
