ET Covid-19 Live Updates: Doctors Call for More Restrictions and Caution as Virus Surges More than 1 in every 400 people tested positive in the past week, and infections and hospitalizations have hit record levels across the country. Since the start of the pandemic, Kentucky has had 135,855 coronavirus cases and 1,729 deaths, according to a New York Times database. Tents are stationed outside Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center El Paso to help emergency departments handle the city’s surge in virus cases. With coronavirus cases hitting daily records, Elkhart General Hospital had run out of room. That, and releasing five coronavirus patients, who no longer needed hospitalization, allowed the hospital to start taking ambulances again.
