Maricopa County Medical Examiner at 96% capacity; refrigerator trucks ordered


PHOENIX (3TV/CBS 5) – The Maricopa County Medical Examiner's Office is close to capacity.

Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego's office said the City of Phoenix participates in meetings with the Maricopa County Unified Command Center. In the most recent meeting, the command center reported that the medical examiner is at 96 percent capacity and is working to secure a contract for refrigerator trucks.

Fields Moseley, a spokesperson for Maricopa County reports the medical examiner is also looking at additional staffing due to the morgue being near capacity level for body storage. "[The Officer of the Medical Examiner] can expand that capacity to more than 200 cases and will do so if needed. This allows time to implement the plan for adding more cooler space."

According to Gallego, morgue space is nearing capacity and Abrazo has reported their morgue is at capacity.

1. Unlike New York,

There is no shutdown, no “shelter in place” order. So the refrigerator trucks will pile up at hospitals until there are no more left. There will be no flattening of the curve, no second wave; just one continuous rise in the viral water table.
