They’re manning the trenches in an increasingly difficult struggle to fend off the COVID-19 pandemic.

A spokesman for the emergency doctors’ national group says it’s a problem across the country — a “desultory and tentative” approach by government that leaves health workers and hospitals largely on their own.
