The leader of Clinton's Warner Hospital and Health Services remains minimally concerned about the coronavirus making an impact on DeWitt County residents but still has his concerns about the virus for other reasons.

CEO Paul Skowron told Regional Radio News Wednesday on the WHOW Morning Show, the coronavirus coming to Clinton and DeWitt County is not of grave concern for him at this time. He feels because the area doesn't have major gathering places, the likelihood of it spreading locally is small.

While the virus making it's way to central Illinois is not of great concern to him so far, there are other concerns for the hospital's leader. According to Skowron, the availability of basic supplies are something he is keeping an eye on.

To be proactive in dealing with any potential shortages, Skowron and his staff are trying to order supplies to not only have a surplus in the event of a shortage but also because of the possibility of supplies coming from China being contaminated.

Skowron credits national and world health organizations for their proactivity in educating the public about this outbreak and taking appropriate measures to keep the public safe.
