Chris Van Gorder says he's seeing a telling trend in the hospitals he runs.
Coronavirus patients are showing up in emergency rooms after calling 911 from the US-Mexico border.
"They'll literally come to the border and call an ambulance," says Van Gorder, president and CEO of Scripps Health, a hospital system in southern California.
The rise in ambulance traffic from the border, which several officials described to CNN, is a symptom of the pandemic's spread in the region — and a sign of the many connections between communities in both countries.
