Cases of COVID-19 have gone up again in Ohio, and while the focus nationally and internationally has been on the Omicron variant, many in the state's hospitals are still suffering from the Delta variant.
One of those hospitals seeing a shortage of beds and stress on their staff is Cleveland Clinic Akron General, and because of that, the facility is temporarily halting the scheduling of new non-essential surgeries until January. Dr. Brian Harte is the president of Cleveland Clinic Akron General, and he joined the Ray Horner Morning Show to discuss Omicron, Delta, the postponement of those non-essential surgeries, and the continued protocol for the staff and guests at their facilities.
