San Joaquin region are out of ICU beds as COVID-19 surges

By Thomas A. Smith

A 12-county region in California is out of ICU-bed capacity as a second wave of COVID-19 ravages the state s rural Central Valley.

San Joaquin County, an agriculture hub where the majority of fruits and vegetables in the US are grown, has been hit particularly hard in recent weeks.

ICU capacity at all seven hospitals in the county stood at 100 percent on Saturday, the highest rate anywhere in California, according to the state s Department of Public Health.
