JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – As many Americans stay at home to protect themselves from the coronavirus, there is a small number of people who do not have that option.

Journalists, nurses, doctors and first responders are all doing their part to serve their communities during the pandemic.

This week News4Jax reporter Jenese Harris met with AmeriPro EMS, an ambulance service that transports many patients with critical health problems and is prepared for coronavirus patients, too.

“COVID-19 attacks the airway, attacks the respiratory track, so what we are finding is in the future... we find that maybe there is a surge of patients that require critical care, these patients are going to need to be moved within the community,” Marvin McLellan, Director of Florida Operations said.
