The Mission Regional Medical Center and all hospitals around the Rio Grande Valley are experiencing the effects of the coronavirus surge.

Currently, 75% of the hospital is being used to treat coronavirus patients.

Kane Dawson, the hospital's CEO, says on average they admit 120 COVID-19 patients a week. The most they've admitted in one day is 46, and that number keeps climbing.

Dawson explains the strain on medical workers is constant – most working more than 100 hours each week.
