GREENVILLE, ILLINOIS/USA - APRIL 01, 2020: COVID-19 triage tent set up in parking lot of small rural hospital. Rural hospitals like this one 42 beds will be hard pressed to handle a large influx of coronavirus patients , while still providing care for non-COVID cases such as falls, accidents, and other illnesses. Healthcare in rural America is less equipped to handle a pandemic than hospitals and ERs in urban and suburban areas. Rural areas also have a higher population of at-risk groups, such as the elderly and those with underlying conditions.
