COVID-19 Series: Statewide Effort – Impact of Regional EMS Councils

We have been dealing with the corona virus in the US since mid March... that’s when schools were shut down and we all went into quarantine to try and stop the spread of the virus. Our numbers did go down and we are now several weeks into Phase 3 here in Virginia... but unfortunately the number of positive cases of COVID-19 are on the rise again, especially in the Hampton Roads section of the Commonwealth... which is in the Tidewater EMS Council region. Day in and day out, our front line workers continue to put themselves out there to help keep us safe and get us through this pandemic. Joining us now as part of our special TEMS Time COVID-19 Series is Gregory Wood, Executive Director of the Southwest Virginia EMS Council.
