An internal memo from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) showed coronavirus patients in Arizona were taken to New Mexico because of staffing shortages and a lack of hospital beds.
The memo, obtained by ABC News, did not specify how many patients were moved across the state border. Arizona is among the states in the South and western U.S. currently experiencing a record surge in coronavirus cases.
According to the Arizona Department of Health, 86 percent of hospital beds are currently in-use in the state, down from 91 percent earlier this month.
