In the United States at least The Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA) requires emergency departments to provide care to all those who present with a real emergency. From my understanding, that means if you show up at the ED with a legit COVID case, they gotta take you or the feds will go after the hospital. They've handled it by throwing up some tents in the parking lot to handle overflow. So, they're gonna take you, but do you really want to be the COVID patient in a tent in the parking lot? Not sure if there are similar laws in other countries?
