30 March 2020 - New York City, New York, United States: Workers putting the finishing touches on an emergency hospital in New York City's Central Park to confront the coronavirus pandemic. The North Carolina based Christian organization Samaritan’s Purse began constructing a 68-bed emergency field hospital across from Mount Sinai Hospital yesterday and it is expected to be operational on Tuesday, March 31st. The field hospital will be composed of a respiratory care unit with ICU capability. Highly trained doctors and nurses with experience in infectious diseases will be deployed on a rotating basis. Patients will initially be coming from the Mount Sinai Health System. This buildout is apparently an exact replica of an emergency field hospital that Samaritan’s Purse opened on March 20 in northern Italy.
