"What worries some medical experts is state health authorities say there will soon be a third wave of COVID infections, although some doctors fear the wave is already here," Dr. Campo said.

Dr. Campo says Valley Baptist hospital does not have enough medical personnel for so many patients.

If you have COVID-19 and a comorbidity, speak with your doctor and set-up an appointment for infusion therapy by calling 247-3650.
