Conway Medical Center Erects Triage Tents in Front of E.R.

Conway Medical Center is now setting up triage tents just outside their ER. They hope to screen potentially infected patients and isolate them before they ever step foot in the hospital. It is meant to protect other patients as well as health care professionals. Due to the lack of personal protective equipment, they’ve become very vulnerable to contracting COVID-19. Luckily, the “National Strategic Stockpile has distributed nearly 300,000 medical supplies” across the state this week. The Grand Strand area alone received a large portion of these supplies, which included surgical masks, respirators and surgical gowns.
