Anyone with a medical emergency should seek treatment, even though coronavirus cases remain high in parts of the country, emergency care physician Dr. Ron Elfenbein said on CBS News. Emergency departments, in general, "do a very good job" of sanitizing and keeping the risk of exposure to a minimum, he said. "If you have something that you consider to be an emergency, definitely go seek care for it," said Elfenbein, who practices in Maryland. "The emergency rooms, by and large, are safe and secure." Elfenbein advised people to "just be smart about it."
