Some hospitals in the United States have closed or plan to shutter parts of their facilities because of staffing shortages.

Three urgent care centers in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin, area have been closed temporarily because of the surge in COVID-19 cases and a lack of staff, Advocate Aurora Health, which runs the centers, confirmed in an email to The Epoch Times.
