HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - With Hawaii’s COVID lockdown lifted, Honolulu EMS says it’s responding to more 911 calls now than before the pandemic.
The emergencies run the gamut, and include an increase in COVID cases.
“The crews are still super busy,” said Honolulu EMS Field Operations Supervisor Frank Gregorio. “There’s an uptick in calls now.”
For EMS crews, it’s beginning to seem like deja vu.
Earlier this summer, crews would go days without a call for a COVID patient. Now, transporting people who have already tested positive for the virus is becoming a routine occurrence.
