New York Begins Construction on More Temporary Hospitals as Coronavirus Spreads (2020)
NEW YORK — Construction on two more temporary hospitals is underway in New York as COVID-19 cases surge.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo said at a news briefing Thursday that construction has begun on the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal, which will add 750 hospital beds, and a health care facility in Staten Island that will treat coronavirus patients.
The two new locations are in addition to several sites the state has converted into facilities to treat patients with conditions other than COVID-19 in order to free up space in hospitals for those infected with the virus. Health officials estimate that the state will need capacity for between 70,000 and 110,000 people.
