WINONA, Minn. – The Winona hospital has had as many as nine coronavirus patients in recent days, hospital executive Rachelle Schultz said. The long-term average, however, has been three. Even so, Schultz is concerned about the new surge of infections statewide and in the county. “COVID-19 can overwhelm.” she said.  If other hospitals in the are also full, there won’t be a place to send overflow patients, she said.
