In the last week, states such as Ohio, Maryland, Delaware and Georgia have mobilized National Guard members to assist with patient care. "We still face a very serious situation with Covid-19 in Delaware, especially in our hospital facilities," Gov. John Carney said Monday as about 100 members of the National Guard are training to become certified nursing assistants. At the MetroHealth Medical Center in Cleveland, officials told CNN that not only is the hospital filled with people needing treatment, but roughly 400 employees are out with Covid-19. Lanette Looney, who is overseeing the mission at the hospital where 28 Guard members are helping with medical and non-medical tasks, noted they have faced Covid-19 infections as well.
