Dr. Ram Yeleti, chief physician executive with Community Health Network, talks about the importance of flattening the curve during the COVID-19 pandemic. The idea behind ‘flattening the curve’ is to reduce the number of patients coming into the hospitals so that the hospitals can properly serve the volume of patients that are coming in at one time. Flattening the curve also means that patients will be coming into hospitals over a longer period of time. Dr. Yeleti also reminds us that we still need to practice social distancing, practice good hand hygiene, and avoid touching our faces.
