Credit KY-3/facebook The delta variant of COVID-19 is pushing Springfield hospitals to the limit.  There were 231 patients at CoxHealth and Mercy on Wednesday, and 103 were in critical care, many on ventilators.  At Mercy, there were 37 in the ICU on Wednesday, and 35 were on ventilators. Springfield health leaders are asking the state to step in and help.  The Springfield-Greene County Health Department, in collaboration with healthcare partners, are requesting funding for an alternative care site to provide transitional care to COVID patients who are stable enough to be released from the hospital.  That will allow more beds to be freed up for patients who are sicker.
