American officials aim to build hundreds of temporary hospitals across the country to cope with the thousands of new cases of coronary diagnosed daily, while the country experienced the day with more casualties so far, a total of 575 people throughout the country.
The US Army Genieries Corps, which converted to New York a hospital conference centre with 1,000 beds within a week, is now looking for hotels, dormitories and large areas in the wild to build up to 341 temporary hospital facilities, the chief of the Corps, Lieutenant General Todd Samson, said on Tuesday in the programme “Good Morning America”
Confirmed cases of coronavirus in the US increased by more than 20,000 on Monday, overloading hospitals that lack doctors and nurses, as well as medical and protective equipment.
The death toll in the United States exceeded 3,000, more than the number of those who lost their lives in attacks on September 11, 2001. Officials estimate that the death toll could eventually reach 100,000 to 200,000.
The Gardening Corps, in collaboration with state officials in New York, converted Jacob Yavits Conference Centre into an object to treat patients who do not have coronarys.
This will ease the burden of hospitals treating patients with COVID-19. In addition, construction of a 68-bed field hospital in Manhattan Central Park has begun.
The conversion conference centre is not far from the port where the US Navy hospital ship Comfort anchored on Monday. Starting on Tuesday, the floating hospital will receive up to 1,000 non - coronary patients
Another temporary hospital in New York will be set up at Arthur Ase Stadium, where the games of the American tennis championship in nature are played. In Los Angeles, the Navy hospital ship “Mercy”, similar to the ship “Comfort” has already started treating patients.
Throughout California, the number of patients paved with coronarys has doubled over the past four days, while the number of those being treated in the emergency has tripled, Governor Gavin Newsom said.
Authorities in New Orleans State Louisiana are establishing a field hospital at the Ernest N Conference Centre. Morial, the same object where thousands of people displaced by Hurricane Katrina were sheltered in 2005.
U.S. Health officials are urging people to follow orders to stay at home by the end of April to ease the power of the virus, which first erupted in China and infected about 750 thousand people worldwide.
The country's highest medical authority, Jerome Adams, said he was frustrated with the fact that he still sees people flocking to large groups, opposing social distance orders.
“People should stay home,” told Adams to Fox News television. “The way the solutions is for all to co-operate to stop the spread, eliminating large gatherings and staying at home,” he said. / VOA/
