Arizona tells Pence it needs additional 500 healthcare workers as COVID-19 cases soar
“We did hear in the briefing today of the need for personnel,” Pence said at a news conference following his meeting with Ducey.
While Arizona has, like other states across the country, increased testing in recent weeks, the percentage of positive results from those tests has been especially worrisome. On Wednesday, the state said that 28.3 percent of residents tested over the past 24-hours were positive for the disease caused by coronavirus, the worst of any state in the nation.
Traveling with Pence in Arizona, Dr. Deborah Birx was adamant about the need for citizens to wear masks to slow the spread of COVID-19. Arizona has reimplemented social distancing measures, such as shuttering bars, in recent days as the number of cases have spiked.
