The University of Tennessee Health Science Center is tracking hospitalizations in Shelby County with the latest data released Wednesday evening showing more than 600 Covid patients being treated at local hospitals.

The problem is that hospitals are already at capacity in Shelby County and there are not enough health care workers to staff an overflow hospital.
