FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) The Tulare County District Attorney s Office shared the somber news this week that former criminal investigator Frank Arnold died from COVID-19. Frank leaves many friends and family behind to mourn his loss and that includes TCDA s Bureau of Investigations, where he is remembered as (a) tenacious investigator, a good friend, and someone with (a) unique and dry sense of humor, the DA s office wrote in their post. Someone said he had the cleanest jokes around, said Robin Skiles, former Tulare County Sheriff s Office undersheriff. And that s true. They were funny but they were always clean jokes. Frank had a great sense of humor.

PORTERVILLE, Calif. (KFSN) Sierra View Medical Center doesn t have space or staff to keep up with the never-ending flow of patients needing serious medical care.
So the hospital officials say they have been forced to hold patients in the emergency department for up to 24 hours before a staffed bed becomes available.
At times, they ve also held patients in a conference room to cut down on crowding in the ED. This is really an urgent time for us to be able to transition some patients out of the hospital, said SVMC Chief Nurse Executive Dr. Jeffery Hudson-Covolo.
