Sure, for routine care because people are avoid healthcare environments because of the risk of COVID-19. At the same time, the same systems are unable to deal with critical needs because ICU beds and other related critical resources that COVID-19 puts a high demand on are exhausted in some localities and nearly exhausted statewide in the worst hit areas.
